Day 10 “Do What You’re Good At” #TAKEITEASY Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist
I guess a more accurate title would be “Do What You’re Good At Regardless of Who’s Watching.” (I guess there are some instances where that would be inappropriate, lol, but for now I’m referring to your gifts you can share publicly).
Today, I had the opportunity to do what I’m good at AND I was freakin’ terrified. Why? Because I was doing it in front of my family and friends—people who’ve known me since I was little, watched me grow up, and even gave birth to me. It was VERY uncomfortable for me… AND I’m glad I did it.
When I speak at schools, libraries, or random events, I get to show up and be whoever I want. I don’t have a voice in my head telling me there’s an expectation that I may not meet, because they don’t know me. They don’t have an expectation.
If they do have one they created in their heads, it usually works for me, because I’m not the boring speaker they’re expecting. I’m something altogether different.
Today, I spoke at a conference at my dad’s church and I panicked pretty much up until 2 minutes before I took the mic. It was a journey for me, those three months between when I learned about the event, to today when I actually presented. And I’m proud of myself for the work I did to get to this moment.
I’ve been talking about this event for the last few days on the podcast so today’s episode is my update. I let you know how it went. And it’s my rawest, realest feelings because I recorded this minutes after returning home from the event.
So if you were one of the people cheering me on and encouraging me, please check this out.
Blessings!
