Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. It’s a journey that has challenged, shaped, and often required me to rediscover my voice in new and profound ways. In my latest podcast episode, I bring this conversation to the forefront, focusing on how we, as mothers, can empower ourselves through vocal confidence and advocacy in all aspects of our lives.
The episode, delves into the intricate world of motherhood, where being heard is both a necessity and a challenge. I share my personal story during pregnancy and how it led me to Erin Roberts, a vocal confidence coach from Aligned Voice. Erin brings her expertise in technical, spiritual, and emotional coaching to the table, offering invaluable insights into how we can use our voices to advocate for ourselves and our children.
I acknowledge that while unsolicited parenting advice can be overwhelming, having the right communication tools allows us to set boundaries with grace. One such tool is the “positivity sandwich,” a technique that helps maintain respect and clarity when communicating needs. The episode also touches on the delicate art of asking for help, encouraging mothers to dismantle self-limiting beliefs and recognize their worth.
A key takeaway from the episode is the concept of speaking our dreams into existence. The power of language is not to be underestimated; the words we choose can shape our reality. Erin and I delve into how positive psychology and sports psychology principles can aid us in not only raising our children but also in achieving our own personal and professional goals.
I celebrate podcasting as a tool for amplification and connection. It is highlighted as a platform where mistakes are viewed as stepping stones to mastery, embracing the ‘burnt pancakes philosophy.’ We, as mothers, are invited to harness the power of our voice, engage in crucial conversations, and make an indelible impact on our lives and the lives of those around us.
This podcast episode is more than just a conversation; it’s a resource and a companion for mothers who are looking to find and use their assertive voice. Whether in the throes of potty training or in the midst of a professional pivot, this episode provides the tools and inspiration needed to communicate with clarity and confidence.
So, to all the mothers out there: your voice matters. It’s time to raise it, to advocate for your needs, and to empower yourself in all aspects of your life. This episode is a testament to the strength and influence of a mother’s voice, and it’s a must-listen for anyone looking to amplify their own.
