[January is the birthday of the Tana Talks podcast so we’re going back to the basics and why this podcast exists. The premise of this show boils down to  “Your story matters” no matter what you've been through. [The more you  share your hard stories in a safe space the more healing is allowed for you. The less power the dark things have over you.[Shame and guilt like to keep you silent. The more you share the more you empower yourself and empower others[Sharing your story allows you to connect with others who have been/are going through similar struggles[Sharing your story shares your experience and connects you with others to validate the experiences you’ve had[Sharing your stories break the stigmas that traumas, addictions, etc hold over you. You can relate to people who have been through similar things to you. [Your story encourages and inspires others, but it should encourage and inspire you first. Thank you for always listening and supporting, I love you and I mean it.
