Your story is yours to share and it can serve a bigger purpose for your listener -  it could change their whole world. Getting personal about your stories and experiences can make your listeners feel included, seen, and heard. Even if you prefer to avoid the spotlight, keep in mind that your podcast isn’t about you. It’s about what you can bring to the table through your lived experience. Being vulnerable enough to share a glimpse into what has made you, you, helps build a real connection with your listeners. What will you say today that will help someone else tomorrow? 

Share Your Story By:

• Understanding why getting outside of yourself and your worries will broaden your relatability
• Knowing what level of intimacy to share in your stories
• Creating awareness around how even the smallest story could have a real impact on your listener.

The voice you have today is not the same voice you were born with. The things you experience and the media you're exposed to, all contribute to how you sound and frame what your idea of a powerful voice “should” sound like. But when you step out of the parameters set by culture, and abandon the idea of sounding “professional” you will discover that true power in your voice.

Today’s episode is a revolution in how to think about your voice with Samara Bay, author of “Permission to Speak”. We nerd out on redefining what power sounds like, why other people’s voices and words impact your own voice, and what you can do to shift that narrative. Speaking with our “heart voice”, we dare you to consider what it would be like to have a different, more empowering relationship with your voice.

Listen in as we break down the new sound of power including:

• How to authentically show up and be taken seriously
• Owning the words coming out of your mouth
• The importance of audaciously choosing to sound like you
