Reclaim Your Voice: With Sacred Rage

In this episode I welcomes executive leadership coach Pooja Khandelwal for a wide-ranging conversation on how women can examine their identities, reclaim their voice, and lead with greater relational intelligence. They unpack two ideas from Pooja's work — that leadership is shaped less by the challenges we face than by the capacity we bring to them, and that the challenge is rarely the problem itself but the way we're currently seeing it — through vivid metaphors, a deeply moving story about a father on a train, and practical wisdom on shifting from external reliance to internal resilience. It's an invitation to pause, get present, and ask what becomes possible when you change how you see the problem.

The Refresh: Reclaim Your Voice — The Sacred Rage (Act Two)

In this episode, “The Refresh,” the host explains the podcast’s updated name, “Reclaim Your Voice: The Sacred Rage,” framing the original show as act one—an awakening to how societal rules and expectations keep people small—and this new phase as act two: stepping fully into possibility. Sacred rage is described as anger rooted in love, truth, dignity, and justice, not destruction, and as the fierce clarity of “enough” that ends self-abandonment, unnecessary apologies, and shrinking to keep others comfortable. The episode invites listeners to question inherited labels, reclaim buried parts of themselves, and act now because there is no perfect time. The host connects this shift to their mother’s ALS and the urgency of using your voice and pursuing what you want while time is precious.

Episode 1 - How it all began: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2227377/episodes/13331734

Today on Reclaim your Voice I talk about ways identifying areas where you can reclaim your voice and acknowledging anger. Females are often taught that anger is an emotion that we shouldn't show, but anger is a powerful emotion and if you've been ignored or silence it makes perfect sense that you feel angry! Why hide it? 

Actionable Steps to reclaiming your voice:

• Why are areas in your life that you avoid or find full of drama? 
• Are you being your authentic self in these areas? Are you speaking your truth?
• Are there areas in your life where you find yourself getting upset by things that usually wouldn't cause you to react? Was there something else that happened that day, perhaps a moment where you felt unheard?
  • What would happen if you spoke up in that moment?
  • What do you fear?
  • What are steps you can take to reclaim your voice in these moments? (remember take steps that you feel comfortable with).

Ep #2: Loving Yourself to Reclaim Yourself
Cover Art: image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay
Music by RomanSenykMusic from Pixabay  One Step Further

Today on reclaim your voice we are going to talk about love. Loving yourself enough to speak your truth. Why don’t we love ourselves? Why do we seek love through the approval of others? 

Reclaim your Voice is a podcast devoted to empowering you to find your voice, awakening from the prison within and shedding toxic beliefs to find your true authentic self. 

 This podcast is not about folding onto the stories that we have told ourselves and holding on to narratives that keep us small clinging to invisible boundaries, but to empower us walk into and embody our truth, change our realities to become in alignment with our dreams.

Each podcast will leave you with key take aways that you can implement into your daily life, and begin the process to living your truth.

Key take aways:
We do the best with what we know at the time

What is the story I am telling myself? Can I provide evidence to a jury to support my belief?

Loving myself - remember who you are, your values, your skills, your faults. Love all of you.

What are my values….. (remember these during difficult moments, what are my values, what do I stand for) 

What am I afraid? Should that stop me? Why?

You can always return

Remember: I’ve got this, and do this any ways

Call to Action:

1. Write down your values, what do you stand for?  Once you've written this out, condense it down to 2 sentence that you can recall when needed and share with others.
2. Begin to journal about the stories you're telling yourself about who you are
3. What's stopping me from taking that next step and are my fears valid (can you prove it to jury?)
