If you’ve ever struggled with showing up as your full self or being seen in your business, this episode is for you.

Today on the podcast, I’m joined by award-winning vocal coach and author, Samara Bay. Samara has coached everyone from Hollywood celebrities to US Congresswomen to high school girls. And her book Permission to Speak has been a guiding text for my business and life.

In this potent conversation, she teaches us her tried-and-true methods for showing up and speaking out. We also unpack the personal and political challenges that make showing up so challenging.

Tune in to learn:

• How to bring your full self to your work/life/biz
• Samara’s 4-step process for preparing to speak
• What it means to be deliberately vulnerable
• Why self-promotion isn’t actually about you
