Why Sharing Is the Missing Link in Personal Growth

Growth is often talked about in terms of mindset, discipline, habits, and goals. But there’s one piece that rarely gets the spotlight—and it might be the most powerful: sharing.
Not performative sharing. Not oversharing. But authentic, intentional, from-the-heart sharing.

This is the essence of the Share Key, and it’s often the missing link in someone’s transformation.

The Psychology of Sharing

“We are not thinking beings who occasionally feel—we are feeling beings who occasionally think.” —Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

Neuroscience shows us that storytelling isn’t just a way to communicate—it’s how we connect, learn, and process emotions. When we share openly, we regulate our nervous systems, forge empathy-based bonds, and stimulate parts of the brain that promote self-awareness and growth.

Authentic sharing activates mirror neurons, which help others feel connected to our experience. But more importantly, it activates our own courage and clarity.

 What We Resist, Persists

Most people who feel stuck aren’t lacking knowledge—they’re carrying emotional weight they haven’t spoken aloud.

The Share Key invites us to stop bypassing our truth in favor of positivity. It teaches us to pause, speak, release—and then rise. Without this step, “growth” becomes another mask we wear. A performance instead of a transformation.

 Real Sharing vs. Surface Sharing

Let’s get honest—social media has trained us to believe sharing equals vulnerability. But the truth is, posting a highlight reel isn’t sharing. It’s curating.

Real sharing is:

• Telling the truth without knowing the outcome
  
  
• Saying “I’m struggling” without a silver lining ready
  
  
• Offering your experience so someone else feels less alone
  
  

And it doesn't always mean broadcasting. Sometimes the most transformative sharing happens privately—with a coach, a friend, a group like this one.

 The Share Key in the 7 Positivity Keys

In the Positivity Keys system, the Share Key isn’t a side note. It’s the turning point.

You can:

• Think new thoughts (Thought Key)
  
  

• Set intentions (Intention Key)
  
  

• Visualize your goals (Visualize Key)
  
  

• Feel the emotions (Feeling Key)
  
  

• Take aligned action (Action Key)
  
  

…but if you don’t integrate those with connection, the change doesn’t stick.

Sharing creates the accountability, empathy, and resonance that fuel transformation. It brings your internal work into the world.

Growth Doesn’t Happen Alone

We grow in community.
We heal through honesty.
We expand when we stop contracting around the truth we’re afraid to speak.

This is why I created Shift Your Mindset, Shift Your Life, the free workshop I’m hosting on June 4. It’s not a webinar. It’s not a pitch. It’s a space to explore your story, unlock your clarity, and make the next right step forward.
