Thank you for sharing this out loud! I've had this same fear holding me back from expressing in different situations (what will they think of me). I'm learning to notice when am I sharing something to be validated by others, vs when am I sharing to simply express what's on my heart. Especially if what I'm sharing can tend to be countercultural, it's only natural for it to be misunderstood by others.
It feels like the humanness behind what we share so often gets lost in the noise of everyone else’s projections. I love hearing you voice that you'd like to write a book one day too... I'm right there with you with that dream (and the fear and vulnerability that come with it). And I'm so excited to read Amber's book - and inspired by the women who keep sharing their stories despite the opinions!!

I love that distinction of reflecting on why you are choosing to share something. So profound!!
