what kids know about courage that we forgot

Celebrations. Ceremonies. And lots (and lots!) of emotions. All around the world, schools are wrapping up their year, and if you’re a parent (of little children) like me, that probably means you’re deep (really deep!) in end-of-year performances, concerts, and seeing your kids put that final glitter glue touch on little notes for their teachers.

I was at one of those ceremonies recently. And there was a concert too. I was sitting there in the audience, trying to get a spot to see my little ones up on stage, I suddenly felt those emotions bubble up.

Once I returned home, I realised, I didn’t just tear up because of them.It was also, because of me. Because in them, I saw that 8 year old version of myself who was once just as brave as they are today.

In the way they used their voice.So unapologetically.So freely.

And it made me think:When did we unlearn that kind of boldness with our own voices? When do we start holding back?

That’s exactly what I’m unpacking in this new episode of Lead With Your Voice.

Whether you’re a parent or not, this episode will resonate with anyone who’s been feeling disconnected from their voice lately.

So pour yourself your favourite comfort drink, take a walk, or just find a moment for yourself, and tune in.
