Storyteller's Reflection: From Fear to Podcasting
Manage episode 374968824 series 3490075
[Solo episode] This week on Through the Looking Glass, we delve into my journey through personal growth, resilience, and the power of finding my voice. Get to know me better, as I speak about my past life experiences with public speaking and the transformative journey that led me to embrace the world of podcasting.
From a shy and reserved schoolgirl to a confident and poised presenter, my path has been anything but linear. I trace back to my pre-school days, standing frozen on stage during a poem competition, and take you through the various twists and turns that shaped me into the individual I am today.
I speak about my diverse upbringing that spanned across continents and languages, my journey through school, college, and career unfolded against a backdrop of personal and societal challenges that pushed me to speak up for myself.
Through my anecdotes and personal reflections, I share my evolution from a PowerPoint engineer to a confident storyteller, learning the art of public speaking along the way. My experiences may resonate with anyone who has faced anxiety, fear, and the pressure to conform.
I speak about my period of self-reflection inspiring this podcast idea, and the reasons why I started Through the Looking Glass. A podcast that not only gives voice to the underrepresented but also serves as a medium for storytelling, exploration, and empowerment.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure, and remember, your story matters too. Until next time!
