“You are too loud”
“What you say will upset someone”
“You are too opinionated”
“No one cares what you have to say”
“Shut up stupid”
Some of the many, milder things said to me over the years
And because of that, I didn’t trust my voice
I stopped speaking up and stopped speaking
I regrettably took abuse for years because I had learned it wasn’t safe to speak up for me
So I people pleased with everyone and kept my mouth shut
It got to the point where even around people I felt safe with, when I had something to say or felt a song to sing, I looked down and stayed quiet
Until one day I claimed back my voice
I finally chose to honor my words, my voice and my truth

It is okay to speak up for yourself
You don’t have to quiet down for others
You don’t have to hide and sush in fear of what others will do or say
You can feel safe to speak your truth
You can love your voice
I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t worked through this and it is sad to think I didn’t do it sooner and I don’t want anyone to feel fear in speaking up like I did for so long, so I am so freaking excited for those that are choosing to join this deep coaching and healing, where I guide you through healing and claiming back your voice!
