Permission to Speak to Redefine the Sound of Power with Samara Bay - EP 63

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
