188. Feeling Invisible

188. Feeling Invisible

Author: Hadar Shemesh January 18, 2022 Duration: 27:21

What happens when you're choosing not to speak? When you feel limited by a language? Maybe you've gotten used to avoiding speaking so much that you feel people don't really know the REAL you.

When you constantly feel like your voice is not heard – whether it's because of others not listening to you or because you're not speaking enough, especially when it matters – you might feel you're invisible. There's nothing worse than feeling that people don't REALLY see you.

Join me for a conversation about feeling invisible, how that's connected to speaking a second language, and what you can do to stop feeling invisible and start feeling more natural, authentic and present when speaking: https://www.instagram.com/hadar.accentsway/
