As a little girl Ezzie Spencer Ph.D was already a seeker.  Imaginative and always enamored with the mystical, she was a human in search of deeper meaning.  

She began her career as a human rights lawyer in Australia and completed her Ph.D in therapeutic jurisprudence after surviving toxic relationships, to help other women survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault seek justice. 

As an empathic soul, this demanding career led her to once again seek the mystical in the moon and the stars, and the result is her best selling book "Lunar Abundance®. Cultivating Joy, Peace and Purpose Using the Phases of the Moon".  In her latest work, the re.love® method, Dr. Ezzie has put together a map for uncovering blocks to self love and intimate love.

Project: I'm Speaking, featuring BARBARA MCAFEE PT. 3
In this last meeting with Barbara McAfee, we learn that when you change your voice, your life comes along for the ride, and that it’s never too late to give voice to what’s inside you.

As you know by now, raising women’s voices is the mission with the "Project I’m Speaking" series, and in this episode Stacy reveals an unscripted story about  how saving her voice pretty much literally led to saving her life.
