If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Does my story even matter?’—this episode is going to remind you that it absolutely does.
Today on Shift Happens, I’m joined again by Thais Eliasen. She is someone who deeply understands the power of sharing your story.
We’re diving into what happens when you stop hiding behind your pain and start using it as purpose. Because here’s the truth—your story carries healing, not just for you, but for the people who need to hear it. And when you step into that truth, it can also open doors for opportunity, connection, and yes—even profit.
In this conversation, we’ll talk about the courage it takes to own your story, how storytelling becomes a pathway to freedom, and why no one else can replicate what you’ve lived through. Thais and I are going to unpack the beauty, the rawness, and the transformation that comes when you finally stop running from your past and start embracing it.
