Summary

Have you ever felt like your voice didn’t matter, so you stayed quiet—even when everything in you wanted to speak? Me too. For years, I shoved my voice down because I believed I was “too much.” In this episode, I’m getting real about why I stayed silent for so long, how I’m reclaiming my voice, and how you can too. We’ll walk through three practical lessons to help you remember that your voice isn’t just important—it’s powerful. You’re not too loud. You’re right on time.

Takeaways

• Your voice isn’t too much—it’s powerful, and it’s time to use it.
• Silence might feel safe, but it’s really fear in disguise.
• You don’t need permission to speak—you already have it.
• Your voice could be the key to someone else’s breakthrough.
• Words create worlds. Speak what you want to see.
• Self-talk isn’t just mental—it shapes your identity and emotions.
• Speak life over yourself, your family, and your business.
• Confidence doesn’t come first—it comes from using your voice.
• Start small. Say what you really want—yes, even about dinner.
• Reclaiming your voice is part of healing, not just growth.
• Don’t wait for the perfect moment—open your mouth and speak.
• Even bold women need to practice their power every day (me included).
