In this enlightening episode, our host, Grace, invites four time, best-selling author and world-renowned storyteller Kelly Corrigan to a heartfelt conversation exploring the impact of authentic communication and emotional honesty.  Kelly stresses the crucial role of active listening and genuine presence, sharing a personal anecdote of a powerful conversation with her daughter amidst the pandemic. The discussion delves into the fear of judgment when expressing feelings and the honor in being trusted to hold space for another's emotions.  Grace and Kelly connect on the influence of culture on self-worth and the tendency to compare oneself to others. They discuss the empowering act of defining your own value and the transformative potential of storytelling and literature in enhancing one's ability to connect and communicate effectively.  They share the challenges of balancing multiple roles as leaders, mothers, truth-seekers, and partners, discuss their beliefs around the innate creativity within everyone, and the importance of taking incremental (seemingly tiny, but impactful) actions toward one's goals and aspirations.  Tune in and join Grace and Kelly as they encourage listeners to embrace vulnerability and reflect on the empowering process of growth that can emerge from life's darkest moments.   //   https://www.thehivery.com/podcast Subscribe to The Hivery Newsletter: https://www.thehivery.com/newsletter-subscription Follow The Hivery on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehivery/
