57: Why You Must Share Your Stories
57: Why You Must Share Your Stories
I have recently shared. A lot.
I’ve told the long story of our IVF journey and ultimately, our IVF failure.
In the process I have learned a lot about the power of sharing our stories.
Sharing stories:
- Connects us
- Creates bonds where there was not one
- Is cathartic and therapeutic
- Creates a more empathetic culture
- Humanizes everyone
- Allows us to not be alone
- Destigmatizes all sort of conditions – infertility, addiction, mental health, death, sex, loss grief
At the end of the day, my life is made up of many stories…
- My podcast is part of my story.
- My gym is part of my story.
- My marriage is part of my story.
- My child is part of my story.
- Divorce is part of my story.
- Family Estrangement is part of my story.
- Body image struggle is part of my story.
- Infertility is part of my story.
- IVF failure is part of my story.
In most cases, the deepest connections I make with other people are from struggles I have shared, not because of a perfect image I have conveyed.
Listen in to this episode to learn how you can start sharing just a little bit more in order to create better relationships, and attract the people you want to attract. I also share a very powerful excerpt from Carry On, Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton that I think every mom should hear.
