Newsflash: if you’re not curious about the people you’re talking to, if you’re not curious to befriend and get to know others, then you’re missing out on some incredible connections that can make your life even more rich. It’s hard to believe that Morgan Harper Nichols, the viral Instagram poet and artist, battled self-doubt. But Morgan reveals that when she began to take the pressure off herself as an introvert, and when she began to get curious and started connecting with people one on one and learning their stories, she began to unlock her creativity. And today, Morgan tells the stories she’s learned about from those new connections in her beautiful art, and through her two books, All Along You Were Blooming and her brand-new one, How Far You Have Come. Morgan and Nancy talk about how to set fear aside and become more open and vulnerable, how to hit hard topics head on, and why embracing curiosity as we talk to other people can not only make us better communicators—it can create a world filled with more love and empathy.
