In this episode of Real is the New Real, Shannon unpacks the word “express.”
Expressing ourselves is a form of creativity and a way to share our voice. Sometimes this ignites feelings of discomfort in others—especially when they aren't aware of the subtle expectations they're holding onto. Emotions are key to uncovering the comforting lies.
Shannon takes us through examples of when others have tried to diminish her voice and redirect her intentions. She shares insights gained from facilitating meetings, navigating VictimHood—and ultimately expressing self through an open heart.
