In this episode, your host Stacia Keogh reflects on the reasons why we often hold back from speaking out and explores the concept of people-pleasing as a common barrier. She shares personal anecdotes of breaking free from societal expectations, finding her creative voice, and reconnecting with her Irish roots. Stacia also discusses her journey as a somatic coach and the importance of listening to our own bodies and hearts. Join us as we delve into the power of storytelling and the transformative effects of embracing our true selves.
