The Giving Gifts Podcast - Shame Shift - When shame tries to silence with Desirée Dawson
Have you ever questioned if your story, your voice, your experience really matters in this world?
Desirée shares so openly as a reminder that every voice has power, and purpose, and though finding that isn’t easy, it is so important. This episode is an invitation to hear the story of an incredible musician who is learning how to use their voice through the music and continue when the music is turned down.
Desirée said it so well, this is a conversation for those who are looking to hold more compassionate space for one another and self. I really can not think of anything our world needs more of right now.
Consideration: When is a time you've tried to use your voice and felt silenced by another person?
