No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

35. Things I'm Afraid to Tell You (Ebony)


Listen Later

Today we are continuing to let down our walls, letting go of shame and embracing full vulnerability. We have another solo episode where I share a few things that I’m afraid for people to know about me. Now, on the surface they may not seem like big things, but for me, they are things I have struggled with and still struggle with from time to time; and a woman who cares so much about the perception of others, it was really hard for me to break down these walls. But I did it. I put on my big girl pants, and spoke my truth.

On this podcast we like to encourage you all to feel open to building those deeper connections, and sometimes that will require you to go to a place where you have to be vulnerable and uncomfortable. You know what they say, great things don’t come from staying in our comfort zones.

I hope that by Sherry and I sharing these stories and truths, you'd also be encouraged to identify those parts of your lives that you've been afraid to share with others and dare to start breaking down walls in order to build meaningful connections at work, at home, in your company and in love.

In this episode, you'll find out about the things I've been afraid to discuss including: My own experience dealing with Imposter syndrome with my career and success, dealing with Mommy Guilt and feeling inadequate as a mother at times, and also my issue with internalizing and overthinking criticism and fear of others perceptions of me.
