But one decision to be vulnerable and expose her shattered feelings out into the world completely changed her life. She explains how to practice radical empathy for the people who need your gifts, how to identify the uniqueness in your voice, how to create different streams of income as a multi-hyphenate, and how to give yourself the grace to stop and breathe in a season of overwhelm.
