Vasavi Kumar is often described as the “Queen of Saying It Out Loud.” A first-generation Indian immigrant raised on Long Island, NY, Vasavi has relentlessly searched to find her own voice, access the freedom of her creative spirit, and help others along the way…out loud.
When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she made it her mission to understand how her mind works, starting with making room to hear herself think.
Her mission is to share everything—the good, bad, and ugly—in order to teach a more mindful, practical, and simple way of running every aspect of your life.
Through her Say It Out Loud podcast, keynote talks, group programs, social media, and weekly email newsletters, Vasavi has taught thousands of entrepreneurs, creatives, and artists from all walks of life how to work through any situation —by saying it out loud.
Vasavi is a Former TV host, Licensed Therapist, Voiceover Artist, and Creator of the Say It Out Loud Safe Haven, an online support community. She holds dual Masters degrees in Special Education from Hofstra University and Social Work from Columbia University.
Most recently she was on the May Cover of Austin woman magazine, and has been featured on VH1, NBC, FOX, Good Day Austin, CW, WSJ, and many more!
Her upcoming book, Say It Out Loud will be published by New World Library in May 2023. Go to sayitoutloudbook.com to pre-order your copy today!
MEMORABLE MOMENTS
“The only thing getting in the way of you doing the things that you know you are capable of, are feelings from the past that are still weighing you down. Those frustrations are holding you back from creating your present and your future.”
“What are you telling yourself about the situation? That determines how you feel, how you behave, and how you respond.”
“If we have a voice, it is our duty and our obligation to use it to stand up for ourselves and for others.”
“Compassionate curiosity is all about the tone of voice that you use with yourself to foster openness.”
“At the end of the day, we are always with ourselves. Whether you're surrounded by many people, or you live solo like I do…you must learn how to talk to yourself. I'm trying to encourage people to foster a safe space in their head.”
“I encourage people to be honest with themselves about what is holding them back. You cannot move through your resistance if you continually lie to yourself.”
“Confidence is not a feeling, it is a skill that can be developed by doing the very things that you don't believe you can do.”
