When you hit that record button, how does stigma play a role in keeping your story to yourself? What if you can choose to ignore that stigma and be open and vulnerable behind the mic?

My guest today is Jay Shifman, a vulnerable storyteller and the host of the Choose Your Struggle podcast. In our conversation, Jay shares his experience about his speaking and podcasting journey that reveals how to use effective storytelling to break down walls and stereotypes, why the fear of oversharing plays a part in the role of stigma, and how his transition from speaking on stage to podcasting behind the mic can create a growing network to be seen and heard.
