“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”
—Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
I was walking my dog this morning when a neighbor asked me where I’ve been. “I didn’t see you last week,” she offered.
“I was in Nebraska,” I proudly shared, “in the land of strong prairie women, speaking about not only trauma and addiction, but also about girly thoughts!”
When she learned I’d spoken to close to 175 people in each group, she was surprised and flustered, adding she could never speak in front of a group.
Interesting, I thought as I considered how I do address groups of all sizes.
If You’re Going to Dream, Dream Big!
“I let my passion for my topic help me get through any anxiety,” I shared. And as you know, I have plenty of passion about not only how you and I as women are unconsciously internalizing societal standards—which can be traumatic and drive us to drink—but also how you and I can fight these messages in our own toxic, inner dialogue that I’ve named girly thoughts.
To learn more about what I said in Grand Island, Nebraska, and about the reaction of both men and women in the audience, read the article that appeared in The Independent, and let me know what you think.
