What motivates you?
Motivation for me lies in the liberating power of personal stories and the inspiration drawn from someone sharing their journey. Maintaining a platform that amplifies voices and allows people to be heard is my commitment. Through my podcast, "Behind The Spotlight," individuals open up about their personal experiences, aiming to empower and educate those on a quest to unlock their greatness. The knowledge that these stories have a positive impact, helping both the sharer and the listeners, fuels my determination to continue. It's truly an honor to play a part, even if just for a moment, in the life journey of those who entrust their stories to the podcast.
What is one word you would use to describe yourself and why?
Empathetic. Through the tapestry of my experiences, I've developed a profound appreciation for the transformative power of empathy. The journey of resilience, both in myself and others, has been a poignant exploration that deepened my understanding of the human experience. It's heartening to hear from others that I make them feel comfortable and at ease; those I've interviewed often express that I'm easy to talk to. Amidst my own transitions and challenges, I've consistently strived to forge profound connections with individuals, recognizing and celebrating the uniqueness that makes each person special. This unwavering commitment to empathy has not only been instrumental in my personal growth but has also allowed me to foster meaningful connections with others.
