Welcome to Season 2 of the Soul Sparks Podcast! To kick off the new season of the podcast, I thought I'd introduce myself to you in the realest way I know how...by telling you 10 things I'm afraid to tell you. I've seen this done before and I always appreciate getting a glimpse into someone else's brain, so I thought I'd give it a try! Some of them might surprise you, some might not, but I hope they give you a better understanding of who I am and what I'm about.

Social Media Links Website: www.conniechapman.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Twitter: https://twitter.com/_conniechapman_ Instagram: http://instagram.com/connie_chapman TRUTH BOMB: "• I made a decision of what’s more important to me- is it my self-expression and feeling like I’m on purpose and I am bringing what is within me out? Or is it to be loved and liked and fit in and be approved of by people? And you sort of have to make a decision of what’s more important because if you keep making other people’s love of you more important, then you will hold back a lot until you have something perfect and exactly right, versus if my intention and purpose is to be fully self-expressed I will do that when it’s messy and unattractive because that’s my commitment. I know I feel alive when I express myself. And I’m almost starting to enjoy the raw, vulnerable feeling of when you press play and you’re sitting there in the vulnerability hangover as Brene Brown says, and I’m coming to enjoy that because it makes me feel alive."
