About me
To anyone looking in I am confident. Successful. Yet how we look on the outside is not how we feel on the inside.
I have always carried fear and uncertainty inside of me. I am addicted to my mind and have often felt removed from my own life. Unable to speak out. Defenceless against life's perennial problems. Uncertain. Alone.
The fear and doubt manifest on the inside. I hid them in the dark. Nurturing them. Growing them big and strong so they could wrap around me and hold me back. Yet I never spoke of it. I carried it silently. We all do it. Why? Maybe we don't know where to begin. Maybe we don't have the words. Maybe we don't think anyone else feels the same way.
I have now become grateful for that paralysing fear. Somehow I knew if I could bring it into the light. Examine and speak of it, it would loosen it's fierce grip. I've read and researched for years, trying to find a way through. I'm not there yet but I have learned that there are far more people than we realise whose not outsides doesn't match their insides. The face and facade presented to the world isn't who they really are. That isn't their truth. Their truth is what is on the inside, tucked away quietly, making them feel alone and uncertain. Thats why so many of us feel like an imposter. We think we're going to be found out. The guilt surrounds us lie a cloak. We connect more deeply when we share our fears and insecurities. It isn't about being positive and happy all the time. It's about being honest with ourselves.
This platform brings you practical advice, inspiring stories and so much more all in one place. Podcasts are all about famous people who have achieved great things. However I believe that we all have gifts to offer. Tucked away within each of us are the real human stories of pain and vulnerability. Courage and bravery. These are what I'd like to shine a light on. Join us. Get involved. Share your story. Use your voice. Speak your truth.
