In this enriching episode of Expressed on Purpose, we are joined by Uria Tsur—musician, workshop facilitator, and guide in vocal expression—to explore the liberating and healing journey of finding one's authentic voice. Uria shares his personal path from musical curiosity to leading transformative spaces where people rediscover the freedom of self-expression through voice. Together, we unpack how music becomes a gateway to healing, connection, and a deeper relationship with the self.

This episode delves into the often-unspoken tension between fear and authenticity, shame and expression, vulnerability and strength. We examine how cultural narratives shape our understanding of beauty and truth, and how embracing the full spectrum of human emotion—through sound, silence, and story—can lead us into more authentic lives. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking to feel more seen and heard, this conversation invites you to reclaim the power of your voice.
