Hi guys and welcome back to the show.

So I have a little bit of a cold today, so please forgive me for my raspy kind of voice

that I got going on here.

But I just wanted to pop on for a quickie.

It's Monday, it's the beginning of the week.

So I thought I would just come on and share and bring you guys some inspiration to start your week

off strong. So this morning I did an interview for a workshop that I was featured in down in

Richmond, Virginia. And I thought it was really interesting. It was a conference for female

entrepreneurs, specifically in the PR event planning industry. And one of the questions that the host asked me was,

you know, she's basically said, you're so vulnerable with your audience and you're so transparent

and you share so much. How do you do that? Like, do you have any fear around that? What kind of

inspires you to be that way? You know, did it take you a while to become that way? You know, how do you deal with it? Because a lot of women want to be transparent in their journey and they want to be vulnerable and they want to share, but they're worried that they're going to look bad or that they're going to be seen in a different light. And honestly, I mean, I have kind of been this way from the beginning. I'm a writer first and

foremost. Yes, I'm a life coach. Yes, I have a podcast. Yes, now I'm designing clothing. My brand is constantly evolving as I evolve. But in my heart of hearts, I view myself as a writer through and through. That is kind of always how I saw myself. It's how I started my career. I'll always be writing books, I'll always be writing and sharing words. I just, that's how I love to communicate.

And for me, early on, when I started my career. I'll always be writing books. I'll always be writing and sharing words. I just, that's how I love to communicate. And for me, early on when I started my blog,

I really based my blog on my truth and on storytelling, on empowered storytelling, on

storytelling where I could share a message through it. So I don't know if you guys are Sex and

the City fans. I feel like you probably are if you're friends with me and you listen to the show. I think we all love
