Have you been censoring yourself? 🤔

If you've ever softened your language, felt imposter syndrome, or kept quiet when you had a message screaming inside of you, buckle up for a pep talk.

We're breaking down 5 common self-censorship blocks in adventure storytelling and how to break through them, including:

• “I don’t have a good ending yet.”
• “I’m afraid I’ll change my mind later.”
• "I need to soften my language first.”
• “I don’t think society is ready to talk about this.”
• “An expert could share this better than I can.”

Angie shares how our volunteer Trailblazers are using their voices for change, and offers experiments so you can practice what she calls "using your outside voice."
