Excited to share my first podcast interview!

I really enjoyed my conversation with Liz that covered TONS of topics.

From the show notes: "Fara & Liz sit down and discuss fear and how it relates to the stories we've been telling ourselves. How fear can shape creativity, interest in play, vulnerability and the way we move through the world, but also how we can exercise and adjust that narrative by giving yourself the time and space to explore and play and expand those borders. Having compassion and why it requires practice to undo the self-criticism; grace and a sense of humor + learning to share your world with others so there is less shame and loneliness in the experience."

Check it out here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Sometimes you're quoted in an article and no one tells you. I just stumbled upon (aka found when Googling myself...) this LIVESTRONG article from March 2018 that used a couple of my quotes.
