What is the line between oversharing and being vulnerable online?
What is the key to unlocking our business AND ourselves?
How do we come to terms with our shame?
Who should have the right to hear our story?
Do you love Brené Brown?
If you want to know the answer to these questions or simply love Brené Brown, then this episode is for you.
My guest today is Byrdie Funk. Her passion is helping women overcome what keeps them small. She’s a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF) and a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) in private practice and online.
Byrdie wants to help people learn how to look at themselves in the mirror and actually LOVE who they see looking back at them. She wants you to feel good about who you are and what you stand for and engage with the world around you from that place!
She’s so passionate about it because there was a time, where she didn’t like who she was. She had few hopes and dreams and was afraid of failing that she never bothered. And then she found Brené Brown’s work and learned the tools that she needed to live out her newfound life.
She learned how to be herself; she learned how to be all in and what it means to live a BRAVE life; she learned how to get back up when she fell.
And now she’s excited to share this life-changing work with you!
Byrdie brings it in this conversation and I guarantee you'll get actionable takeaways from this episode.
Byrdie’s book recommendation (and one of my all time faves): The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown.
