3. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable - a podcast by Maddy Shine
from 2020-06-10T07:00
Last week I spoke about how to show up and how to share more of your personality online, but sharing more also means being more open about sharing your thoughts and your opinions.
Now, in the past this is something I have definitely shied away from publicly. I focused on sharing my business and I didn’t know how, or feel comfortable, to bring my politics, opinions or world events into that.
I understand you might feel uncomfortable talking about these subjects too. So I asked Alice Gabb along to speak about her experience in starting her business, aligning her business with her values and how she shows up unafraid to have difficult conversations.
Alice is a calligrapher, artist and activist and I wanted to know how she ties this all together and as she says, gets comfortable with having those uncomfortable conversations that are so needed.
Alice has a beautiful, successful luxury brand and has always been unafraid to explicitly share her views.
It’s a bit of a big one this week, but these conversations are something I am working to get more comfortable with myself and I welcome you to join me.
