87. The hard truth about being a disrupter

What happens when you tell and live your truth? You are in fact disrupting the status quo. And it's scary as hell. In this solo episode, Dina reflects on what she has been reflecting on the hard truth of being a disrupter and what it takes to tell your truth. She talks about why so many women who are disrupters - within their careers, to their families, to even in front of the mirror disrupting their own toxic thought patterns - can relate to how hard it can feel. Because to be a disrupter requires you to live by your truth. She shares one of her favorite quotes by Muriel Rukeyser: "What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open." Our work as women is to name our fears of the world splitting open if we hsare our truth and help others and outselves to do it anyway. To see the ways in which we are silenced NOT as character flaws but as learned behaviors in a world that wants us quiet, compliant, and endlessly serving others’ needs before and instead of our own. It is understandable, even to be expected — your fear of what might happen when/if you tell your truth. Still and always, it deserves to be spoken and lived — no matter what, all the time, endlessly, and in every single context and conversation possible.    In this episode, Dina shares three reminders to be aware of when you are leaning into the discomfort of telling your truth and disrupting the status quo. Because knowing/anticipating the “havoc” that will potentially result when you DO tell your truth is all the data you need to know this is EXACTLY what is required for you to be fully yourself. What you fear serves you. It’s a powerful form of discernment AND it’s the evidence that you can trust yourself and your truth enough to speak and live it. *************** What if the only person standing in your way was YOU?
