How to Be Shameless: Squashing Your Inner Critic, with Maggie Langrick  
Podcast: The Breakout – Unleashing Personal Growth
Published On: Wed Jul 31 2024
Description: “It was easy for me to say to people ‘your stories are valuable’ but when I would turn that lens on myself, I was tongue-tied and embarrassed.” As the founder of Wonderwell Press, a non-fiction publishing company, Maggie Langrick has been a champion of writers for years; in fact she was a huge influence in the development of Keri and Kelly’s upcoming book, Whatever the Hell You Want (coming in October!). But while Maggie was helping everyone else find their voice, she was actively repressing her own, because, as she tells us, she felt like it was “weird…in the wrong way”. So when a cancer diagnosis derailed her ambitious business plans, Maggie was forced to finally slow down. And that’s when she realized that she actually had a lot to say, if she would only stop discarding her ideas before she’d even explored them.Today, Maggie is a writer, a podcast host, and a writing coach who helps people dig into their own creativity and discover the incredible power of losing the shame and telling their own stories. In this episode Maggie tells how she confronted her self-judgement and learned to listen to her own voice. She also shares what a “full-body ick” is really telling you.About Maggie LangrickMaggie Langrick is a writer, public speaker, media entrepreneur, and host of The Selfish Gift podcast.
