Have you ever felt like you’ve lost your voice, literally or metaphorically?

In this episode, Carly is joined by voice coach and Breathwork facilitator Laura Dumbleton, for a rich and real conversation about the changes that happen to our voices, confidence, and nervous system through midlife. They dive into how your breath and voice are intimately linked, what really happens during perimenopause, and how you can start to reclaim your voice: not just as a sound, but as a part of your identity.

We talk about:

• How hormones and perimenopause impact your vocal cords (yes, really)
• Why your voice might feel “off” or different, and what to do about it
• The link between confidence, nervous system regulation, and your vocal tone
• Simple tools to support your voice and nervous system daily
• Why humming might be your new favourite nervous system hack

Whether you’re preparing for a presentation, struggling with confidence at work, or just want to feel more grounded and expressive — this conversation is for you.
