A short YouTube podcast-style segment by Katie McManus guiding listeners through a reflective exercise: revisit past 'chapters' of life (jobs, relationships, hobbies), identify shame carried from each, and list the skills or 'superpowers' gained. The aim is to help people—especially those considering starting a business—recognize their credibility and transferable skills.
Chapters
So this is one of those podcast episodes where I'm going to give you some homework because I actually want you to go and visit with each of your past lives, and I want you to ask yourself these two questions. Number one, what shame am I carrying from this chapter of my life? And I want you to write it down. And two, what's the skill or superpower that I got from this chapter of my life? And I want you to do this for each and every chapter of your life. And it doesn't just have to be jobs. It could be relationships as well. It could be hobbies as well. Because especially if you're at this beginning stage of, I know I want to start a business. I don't know anything about what I want to do. I don't even know what the options are. Like, do I even have any special skills that I could offer? This is going to help you see exactly what your skill set is. It's going to help you see exactly where you have credibility, because even if you just worked in that job for one year, you have credibility in that industry.
