Strong Back, Soft Front Emily Anger This podcast goes one step deeper than just having regular conversations. It will be a mix between introspective monologues and having dialogues with others, to discuss things that are beyond surface level and that can be hard to talk about openly. It's about stripping the facade to get into the real person. I want to find out what drives people, what some of their insecurities are, why people do what they do and what they want to bring to the world. Big or small. I want to bridge the gap between being and becoming, to promote authenticity and vulnerability as strengths and to provide a platform where people can relate, have break throughs, learn to understand different perspectives or to just listen to conversations that they might want to have but rarely do. I hope you'll enjoy this!
