How I stopped nodding and smiling, with Siobhan Strode

How comfortable are you telling your story? I talk with a lot of creatives, copywriters, messaging strategists, and coaches—people who are really comfortable sharing stories about others as part of their work. They're comfortable at helping others tell their own stories, and are really happy to be advocates for them too. In my circles, there are a lot of individuals for whom advocacy and being other people's voices is a huge part of their personality and their passion. But how comfortable are you telling your own story?  

Today, I'm speaking to Siobhan Strode, an incredibly wonderful and fabulous human being who is also a dear friend of mine. Siobhan is a word witch, a copy coach, and a mentor based in Devon, UK. With a background in education, activism, and politics, social justice is truly in her veins. She helps individuals raise their voices and lead the change they want to see in the world.

We talk about her impressive political background (far more so than mine), the hidden stories of women throughout history, and the importance of sharing them. We also explore how, as cishet white women, we have a responsibility to address issues from our place of relative privilege. And she wraps up our conversation by sharing three tips for anyone feeling nervous about telling their own story.

Siobhan is obsessed with women sharing their magic, whether that’s through their small biz or their next campaigns. When she’s not writing or shouting through a megaphone, you can usually find her on the beach with her kids and Strike, the family hound.

Join us as we explore the power of storytelling and the importance of embracing our own narratives.
