Oh, that’s so wonderful to hear. Thank you, Carla. And yes, there are some pieces that will challenge us for sure. I remember when I wrote about how I often suffered from imposter syndrome. I almost didn’t want to push the publish button. But I did it anyway. And I discovered how others have had the issue as well. Telling people I “sometimes feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and it’s hard for me to take a compliment without feeling fake or unworthy” was hard.

But I’ve also learned since writing here on Medium, that I can do hard things. I can be vulnerable and authentic and strong and good at what I do all at the same time — without shame.
