EdgeworkLife

Blog, articles, stories, and thinking out loud

“Your experience can profoundly affect the people around you whether you are aware of it or not.”

- Brené Brown

At the heart of edgeworklife is the sharing of our stories and experiences.

Whether in our personal life or our leadership role, showing up authentically as ourselves, succeeding and failing greatly, being brave, and forging our own path is what it’s all about. And sharing our journeys through stories and writings allows us to process these experiences, understand what we have learned, and recognize where the journey has brought us.

There is power in the storytelling. and not only for ourselves, but also for those around us.

Sharing our stories and ideas, whether through storytelling or writing, requires courage and vulnerability, and through these processes we revisit many of the same emotions we experienced on the journey itself. There is tremendous vulnerability in sharing and reliving our passions, mistakes, self-doubt, shame, and confusion - and it is worth it!
