Today I had on Samara Bay, a successful speaker, sought-after speech coach,  and author of the book, Permission to Speak. 

Samara is a highly accomplished woman, her journey to become a speech coach is fascinating having once lost her voice for months without speaking. She is now a coach to many public figures, candidates for U.S. congress, and many people in Hollywood. She’s been hired by everyone from Marvel to Netflix to help movie stars integrate good acting with good accents. Some of her clients include Gal Gadot, Pierce Brosnan, Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin and the list goes on.

Her work on rethinking the sound of power has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Forbes, CBS Sunday Morning, Tamron Hall, Slate, and many more.

We spoke a lot about the concept of changing the sound of power, how our voices and the way we speak affect the way we are treated. Our voice stories vs our personal stories. How giving authentic power to our voices with a focus on those of women and minorities is helping shift power within companies and how that affects business as a whole.

The thing is, you don't have to be a public speaker or CEO to see the immense value that bringing power to your voice can have. 

This is just as powerful to a parent of a teenager as it is to someone speaking to an audience of ten thousand.

Today I had on psychiatrist, speaker and writer, Dr Will Siu. 

Will has a private practice in Los Angeles where he treats patients who have mood swings, PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression and much more with the help of psychedelics. He’s been been a featured speaker in Gweneth Paltrow’s Goop wellness program and has an important voice within the realm of psychedelic-assisted humanity and healing.

Will grew up in California, went to med school at UCLA.  Completed a doctoral degree at the University of Oxford and later joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School.

Even through all of these external accomplishments, Will found him self depressed and suicidal until he discovered the power of psychedelics.

On the pod we talked about how much he had to unlearn what learned in school on his journey to following his own path as the therapist that he is today.

Will has helped countless people who have had severe mental disorders and he uses the inner healer of oneself to improve the general well being of his patients.
