The human race relies on communicating to survive, yet we are horrible communicators. Every day we experience assumptions, conflict, triggers, and disconnect, but we never really hone our communication skills. Blaise Hunter, the author of Heroine: Embrace Your Flaws & Own Your Awesome, takes you on a journey of becoming a Captain Communicator. Through this brave story of reflection, trauma-healing, and heroism you can learn how to:
Reduce arguments and turn them into meaningful dialogues.
Heal the internal wounds by taking control of our narratives.
Speak the body's language.
Become a universal translator.
"I can't help it if someone takes issue with what I'm saying or doing, but when they come at me, it is my responsibility to receive and respond with maturity, grace, and wisdom. This is how we stop the identity theft." | Blaise Hunter
This book is a deliberate provocation to trigger us forward. Communication is connection. We must connect to the nemesis in our lives and let it propel us into growth. When we grow, we evolve. When we evolve, we become wise. When wisdom and maturity collide, we encounter purpose. When we build a highly sophisticated and emotionally intelligent comms system within, we construct the confidence to fight for our lives. After going through earth-shattering traumas and developing a rare autoimmune disease, Blaise was forced to make a choice. Either stay the course and die-or face the mirror, rewire, and live. These words make up her life. She invites you in to see all the good, the bad, and the ugly. Through it all, we can obtain tools to navigate through life in a brave way. A hero's journey isn't about the wins; it's about how we take the losses and turn them into life-giving superpowers. The misery is our muse.
