Tamara Callaghan CookeHostSo the thing that happened the other day was I was looking at one of my recordings that will have come out since then, and I was thinking about a few different things, where I'd got up to in the process, what I most want to do moving forward, where my expertise lies, you know, what would be the thing I want to do next.
And I'll probably find this hard to articulate because it's kind of still moving through my system.
And I know I have found it hard to articulate when I've been trying to talk to friends about it.
But when I saw me on the screen, I had this feeling of, oh, you have you have become kind of transformed.
trapped in a, I must self-improve or I must confess my weaknesses or I must continue to work on myself.
I realise that through this process, as perfect as it's been, because otherwise it would have been something different, thanks Peter Crone, I'm coming to a point where what has been useful is shifting and And like you will have seen this year as I've started to do more pieces to camera, things that I think you will find useful, you'll see that that's ebbed and flowed between useful pieces to camera and, oh, this is what I'm up to and this is where I'm struggling and all the rest.
So when I saw that video of me, what I got was you don't need to keep apologising for where you're up to or who you are.
You don't need to be so public about that as a part of keeping yourself in a smaller container.
It'll be how I present here, what I present, what I do, how I speak with people.
And I'm in the process at the moment of moving out of what I think is starting to become a less positive and a more negative habit.
I think it's time to let myself be and risk being that and publicly, being the expert, being the full person that I am without apology, not being dishonest because I think that's a crucial part of how to be most useful to people, but letting myself figure stuff out and enjoy myself and do what I want to do and not have to have an apology as part of it or I'm lesser than or I struggle as a part of that story.
