Summary

There's a lyric in Hamilton, An American Musical that helped me find my voice, "Who lives, who dies, who tells your story." I was watching the Hamilton documentary on KPBS and listening to Lin Manuel Miranda talk about purpose and the importance of preserving our stories changed the way I approached my blog, Run, Selfie, Repeat. Up until that point, I was sharing bits and pieces of my story but I stuck mostly with funny articles.

All we have is our story. And for me, one of the hardest parts about my grief or even my struggle to lose weight was that I felt alone. So today, let's talk about our stories and why I think it's important that they're shared and preserved.

Whether you're looking to share your artwork, start a new business, or create your own running blog, take a chance on yourself and make your next move. I honestly don't think I would ever have been able to build a website had it not been for Squarespace. Between their customer support and their beautiful layouts, Squarespace has made the entire process of building a blog, website, portfolio, or business website almost effortless.

0:36.0	Hey, before we get started, I want to thank Squarespace for making today's
0:40.2	episode of this podcast possible. You know, when I first went viral and I was being relentlessly pushed
0:46.9	by my sister to put a blog on its feet as fast as I could, I was so overwhelmed because I didn't
0:52.1	know anything about creating, designing, and running a
0:54.7	website. And thankfully, my sister Samantha convinced me to use Squarespace because I think had I not
1:00.3	launched on Squarespace, there is no way I would have been able to make a website that worked on both
1:05.8	mobile devices and desktop and understand what that means. I mean, without Squarespace, I would have
1:10.4	never been
1:11.1	able to even like make my next move and find my voice. I remember when Samantha was nonstop working
1:18.4	to get me to start this blog. I told her that I didn't think I was interesting, that I didn't want to
1:23.4	share my story because I didn't have a story to tell. And for so many of us, we go about our lives,
1:30.2	keeping our heads down, and doing what we're supposed to do. We convince ourselves that we're
1:34.4	not interesting, that we're not special. And whatever you're looking to do, whether it's launch
1:40.9	an idea, share your story, start a running blog to share your experience.
