Growing. Pains Included: In Conversation with Charlie Craggs

Charlie Craggs in conversation with James Hazlett-Beard

Some of our biggest breakthroughs or lightbulb moments don't arrive in a session; they arrive in conversation. When we open our minds and our hearts to others, we begin to see ourselves more clearly, and the way forward starts to show itself.

I sat down with the brilliant Charlie Craggs, author, actress and activist, for a talk we called Growing. Pains included. We spoke about her story, the work we did together, and what it really takes to keep moving forward.

One moment has stayed with me since. Charlie taught me to give the shame away, and it landed at a depth I did not expect. That is the quiet power of these conversations. In understanding someone else's story, we understand our own a little more clearly, and we find the next step together.

Growing. Pains included. A conversation with Charlie Craggs. Press play to watch.

Watch the full conversation above. If something in it speaks to you, the best next step is a simple one: come and have a conversation of your own.
