The World Needs to Hear YOUR Story! 🎤 Here's Why and How to Start...
I realized that THIS is the core of and motivation for everything I do.
TL;DR: Listen to this pep talk.
This heart-to-heart-meets-rant is for anyone — particularly any woman — who’s hesitant to turn up the volume on their own voice. 🎙️
I believe that storytelling + strategy = one of the most powerful tools for activism and positive change in our communities.
Not to mention the personal impact of sharing our stories… TBH, I learned the hard way what it costs to stifle your own voice.
And I’m kinda sick of all of us keeping quiet about topics that matter more than ever when people like Joe Rogan talk for the sake of talking. 😉
SO. I recorded this pep talk of sorts for the people I’ve heard say:
I’m not an expert. Why would anyone care about my story?
There are people doing way cooler work than me, so what I do isn’t a big deal.
If I put myself out there and speak up, people will think I’m silly.
NO MORE OF THAT! Let’s be LOUD! 😁
Spend 19 minutes (or, if you’re like me, 9.5 minutes on 2x speed) to hear about:
Why your visibility isn’t vanity
The mindset traps holding us (and many women) back from sharing our voices
The need for diverse perspectives in everything from avalanche condition reports to ultramarathon training plans
How to start finding your voice and mining for stories
And a bit on why I felt called to write this email today…
This feels a little embarrassing to say, but I still stumble when people ask me, “What do you do for work?”
For the past 3 years, I SUPER stumbled. Now, it’s coming more together.
In the past year, it’s become clear to me that the root of all my work is amplifying voices by giving people (and brands) the confidence, tools, and outlet to share their stories. 💗
And that work feels like the biggest way I can make an impact on the communities I love.
If you’re starting to feel that fire 🔥 to share something inside of you and bring it out loudly to the world, let me know if you want me in your corner.
I hope that free resources (like this pep talk, this newsletter, and my blog, for example) can help, but if you’re ready for some accountability and action toward making a statement, building a platform, and boldly turning up the volume on your own voice:
I do both one-off strategy calls and monthly consulting partnerships to help you “Use Your Outside Voice.” 🌲 (What a cute tagline I have, right?!?!)
Shoot me an email if you want this summer to be the season you start sharing your voice more loudly with the world. Because I’m a planner and am planning for summer already, hehe.
Talk soon! Here’s what I did this weekend:
