Balls! How amazing to have the gift of speaking both truth and humor in front of a crowd! What an inspiring story. Have you found yourself swimming in the deep since then?

I’ve never encountered this kind of opportunity- LOVE learning about it from you! 🥳

Here’s the odd truth. I’ve thought about sharing this story but each time I’ve told myself to ‘get back in my box’. I wondered if I could tell it well enough. The risk that I wouldn’t faded just enough to allow me to write it without fanny-ing about.

I find myself leaning on her advice lots. My professional life relies on me to dare to swim deep. Speaking truth to power without a take down, I guess, is a magic art to hone.

Ps. Thank you so much for triggering a look at this beyond this testicles story.

Thank YOU so much for writing it! Why is telling the truth about life so damn HARD? & I don’t mean that in the phallic sense…🤣
