Episode #2
The Elephant in the Room
In this episode of Impromptu Conversations , M. Shannon Hernandez and Amy Hager welcome artist and bestselling author Michelle Dovey for a vulnerable conversation about what happens when we stop pushing uncomfortable topics into the corner and become willing to look at them with curiosity. Together, the conversation explores how we can recognize the places where shame may be holding us back, why curiosity can be a powerful first step, and how sharing our stories can create space for others to feel less alone in theirs. As Michelle puts it, the places we don’t want to go can sometimes be fertile ground for desires hidden by shame. The conversation also dives into journaling, reflection, vulnerability, authentic leadership, and Michelle’s powerful mantra: “Eyes up.” As audience member Tobin beautifully put it: “Looking back through the journal with a flashlight of curiosity!!!” And Cheyenne Syverson captured another takeaway: “What a way to build confidence in self! and OWN IT, BE YOU.” This is a conversation about what becomes possible when we address the thing we’ve been carrying, remove the shame around it, and allow ourselves to live and lead with more honesty, freedom, and fulfillment.
