Michael’s new book How to Begin: Start Doing Something that Matters is now available at www.HowToBegin.com.
Today, we're pulling one of our best episodes from the vaults, featuring the brilliant Christa Couture.
We all have labels - some are given to us, and some, we give ourselves. Christa Couture says that how you word those labels can make all a difference. Christa is a brilliant woman with many labels: she’s queer, indigenous, disabled, a writer, a musician, a broadcaster, and a mother. In today’s show, she reveals how these labels do and do not define her and the pressures that come with them. Get book links and resources at https://www.mbs.works/2-pages-podcast/
