In this episode, I’m joined by voice intuitive and coach Tracy Goodwin for a powerful conversation about the deeper layers of our voice and how it ties into identity, emotional expression, and healing. Tracy breaks down her ability to hear seven layers of sound in a person’s voice—what she calls “voice masks”—and how these layers often protect us but also hide our truest selves.

We dig into how core wounds like fear of judgment or abandonment shape the way we speak, sometimes without us even realizing it. Tracy shares stories, including one about a client whose voice got quieter after years of criticism from his siblings, showing how our voice carries our personal history—our “voice story.” She also explains how shifting the way we use our voice can help us reclaim parts of our identity and be more fully expressed.

We talk about real things—like the challenge of feeling heard in relationships, the stories we carry from childhood, and how being a people pleaser can silence your voice. Tracy and I both open up about our own experiences and the work it takes to dismantle old narratives so we can show up more fully, more authentically.

This episode is all about the power of voice, not just as a tool for speaking, but as a window into the soul. If you’ve ever felt like your voice doesn’t match who you really are—or you’re ready to unlock something deeper—this conversation is for you.
