"You're not being as intellectually stimulated as you think you are if everyone around you is saying the same thing." These are the kinds of truth-telling one-liners Africa Brooke is known for.

She is an author, consultant, strategist and international speaker with a unique focus: tackling self-sabotage and self-censorship. In her new book, The Third Perspective, coming out on May 14, Africa invites us to return to critical thinking and reduce the pressure we all feel to share our thoughts publicly on social media (where not having the "right" opinion can have damaging consequences).

In this episode, Avery and Africa talk about self-censorship, how to communicate more bravely and the power in changing your mind out loud.
