Andrea Owen on How You Can Make Some Noise, Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength
• 37 minAndrea and I are talking about the many ways that you can make some noise, own your strengths, and speak your mind. It’s a big topic, and it could not come at a better time. At the heart of making noise is first getting comfortable with accepting the unique things that make you great. I know that many times, it feels more comfortable to play down your strengths because maybe somewhere back in your childhood or formative years you were told that you shouldn’t bring too much attention to yourself, or “brag” about what you are good at. The thing is, that’s all a bunch of BS. Each person on this planet has a very unique set of talents and gifts, and it’s your job to uncover them and share them with others. When you get stuck in the messaging that you need to hide your talent or play down what you do best, it means that you are not owning all of who you are. And it means that you are playing into fear: the fear that you’re not enough and the fear of outshining others. The truth is that no one wins when you hide your greatness, AND everyone wins when you do share your strengths and talents. And that’s what Andrea has written about in this new book. How you can make some noise. Here’s what else we talk about: – how women and girls are conditioned to play down strengths and fit in, even to the point that we will hold ourselves back so we don’t outshine friends or colleagues – why hiding your strengths doesn’t help you or anyone else – understanding the role of intuition in stepping in to your greatness – resilience – the mindset of greatness – internalized misogyny: why some women align themselves with a misoynistic point of view, and how it keeps women from stepping into their own greatness – why we all need to make some noise, now, in the #metoo era Read the full show notes on the website.
