On today's episode of 'Thrive Solo,' I'm talking to the wonderful Caroline Goyder, a renowned voice coach and author. Caroline helps people harness the full potential of their body, breath and voice. She’s all about helping you speak with gravitas, confidence, and influence under pressure — even if you've always doubted your ability to hold a room. She studied at Oxford University, and trained as an actor and then a professional voice coach. She’s the author of the best-selling books Gravitas and Find Your Voice, and her TEDx talk, The Surprising Secret To Speaking With Confidence, has had more than 10 million views.

Topics discussed include dealing with awkward questions as a single person, the importance of the vagus nerve, taking risks, overcoming the fear of others' opinions, and the power of finding one's voice. Caroline shares insights from her TEDx talk and her books, offering practical advice on confidence and boundaries. The conversation also explores the benefits of breathwork and the significance of pursuing personal passions to create a fulfilling life.
