Saying the Quiet Parts Out Loud

And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power.

Many elements of modern life encourage us to bifurcate and inhabit different versions of ourselves. This is especially evident in our online lives and on social media, but it also applies to how we show up in our careers and as entrepreneurs.

The self-censorship that results from this can be exhausting, not to mention psychologically harmful, especially in the long run. However, becoming a more fully embodied version of yourself, especially online, can seem terrifying, if not downright impossible.

We’ve been thinking about these challenges in how we show up for a long time, and in today’s episode, we reflect on our years of self-censorship and why we’ve finally decided to face our fears and find out what it feels like to say the quiet parts out loud.

Tune in as we discuss the many complicated motivations behind self-censorship, why speaking your truth can have a significant impact, and how we’re approaching the important work of showing up online as a fully embodied version of ourselves!

Here’s a sneak peek of what we discuss:
