A Look Inside the Pivotal Moments That Shaped My Journey
This episode came from a question I recently posted in our private Facebook group for speakers of The Big Talk, asking them what they would like me to share in upcoming solo podcasts. I received so many thoughtful questions that I’m excited to cover in the coming weeks!
This particular request was from Jenny Lincoln, who is a community member, an alum of The Big Talk Academy, a former participant in The Big Talk Live, and a super amazing 1:1 client.
She asked me to talk about the greatest moments in my life and career and how I embodied them further. She also asked about my toughest challenges and how I learned from them. So today, I’m talking about both!
In this episode, I explore:
The five most pivotal moments in my journey, including what it was like moving to New York City at 20 to pursue dance
The reason my greatest moments and toughest challenges, both personally and professionally, are all linked
How I embodied success and said ‘yes’ to opportunities
Why I practice radical self-forgiveness and the way you can do the same
