052 – S2 E16 – Introspection, charisma, and the psychological safety to take up space

In this episode, I speak with Milena—an educator and mom—about her earliest memories of being told by her teachers to take up more space. We talk about the internal journey that this message incited, and the personal exploration that led her to teaching communications and interpersonal relationship building to military professionals. We discuss how this experience led her to start writing her book about charisma, and why it’s important for young people everywhere to develop these skills from an early age.
