In this episode, Veera delves into the profound journey of expressing our truth amidst the myriad of obstacles that often stifle our genuine voice. From internal judgments and fear of criticism to societal pressures and upbringing, we explore why so many of us struggle to let our true selves be heard. Veera discusses understanding whose voice is influencing our thoughts, overcoming fear of judgment and rejection, and the impact of people-pleasing and conflict avoidance on self-expression. We also examine how self-doubt and imposter syndrome hinder us, the role of parental messages and cultural norms in shaping our expression, and share a personal story about the challenges of finding one’s voice amidst ridicule, language barriers, and emotional suppression in relationships. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of cultivating safe environments that encourage authentic expression and explore somatic practices to connect with our natural voice. Join us as we uncover the holistic path to reclaiming our voice, understanding the importance of being heard, and creating a channel for authentic expression.
