What if the story you keep telling yourself "isn't important enough" is actually the exact story someone else needs to hear?
In this episode of the Hi Felicia Podcast, I sit down with sisters Amy and Nancy Harrington, founders of The Passionistas Project, for a powerful conversation about storytelling, visibility, belonging, and what happens when women finally give themselves permission to use their voices.
Amy and Nancy have dedicated their work to amplifying women's stories — particularly voices and experiences that have historically been overlooked. And as two self-described introverts, they're proof that being visible doesn't mean becoming louder, more performative, or someone you're not.
We talk about why women so often minimize their own experiences, how to uncover the stories that have shaped who you are, and why the messy, ordinary, imperfect moments can sometimes create the deepest connection.
We also dive into what it means to create truly inclusive communities, how we can move away from comparison and competition, and why creating spaces where women feel seen and valued matters more than ever.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why women underestimate the power of their own stories
• How to identify the moments in your life worth sharing
• The difference between vulnerability and oversharing
• How storytelling builds confidence and credibility
• Why you don't need a dramatic story to make an impact
• Creating belonging instead of surface-level networking
• Moving from competition to collaboration
• Visibility for introverts
• How to become more visible without becoming performative
• Why quiet strength, empathy, and depth can be superpowers
• Giving other women permission to use their voices
• Taking the first step when you know you're ready to be seen
If you've ever thought, "Who am I to share my story?" — this conversation is for you.
Because your story doesn't need to be extraordinary to matter.
It just needs to be yours.
