Today we have another conversation starter episode: What life experience defines and makes up who you are today?
We absolutely love conversation starters that cause you to look within and explore your inner thoughts, concerns and life passion. A lot of times it's so easy to play it safe and talk about topics that have nothing to do with us or who we are, whether that's the news, the latest celebrity gossip or the weather. But those typically don't foster the type of connection that will lead to meaningful relationships.
Today's question definitely forces you to go beyond surface small talk. It calls you to think about a moment that changed your life in a significant way, whether it was a entering a new stage in your life, a childhood experience, or an unexpected circumstance that forced you to look at yourself differently.
And we invited our internet friend, Tiera Haynes to join the conversation. Tierra is a speaker, content creator, momcoach, and most recently an author. She uses her platform to empower moms to find their inner strengths and passions outside of motherhood. We wanted to learn more about her, specifically how she has so much energy to do all that she does with fun, passion and purpose. Her page is so LIVE! We know you'll enjoy her energy just as much as we do!
Our conversation starters are designed to create more interesting and memorable social interactions. The great thing about our conversation starters is that they start off with one basic question, but will prompt a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and lead to other interesting topics. Use them and watch your relationships grow stronger as you share your answers and listen to others.

Small talk is boring and will rarely create any sort of connection between you and another person. But a good way to turn small talk into good conversation is to talk about topics that you are passionate about. When you live and lead with passion, it becomes who you are and what you tend to talk about most. Embracing your passions makes having any conversation easier.

Katie Rasoul is a fellow introvert and author of the book Hidden Brilliance. Katie is a high-achieving introvert. Someone who feels the intense tug between the drive to achieve more and the need for solitude, between going out to conquer the world fighting with the desire to simply be alone. Ebony had a similar journey to Katie's and learned that her value is not based on accolades or accomplishments That her value also comes from experiences and our journey. And that journey includes the wins and the losses. There is value from failing and lessons that can be learned and shared from our mistakes in life. So, if you consider yourself a high achieving introvert, remember to not base your value on what you can and cannot achieve. But instead create your own definition of success, and enjoy your journey along the way.
