Find your voice. Find your power.

What is your relationship with your voice?

This can be a tough question. For many of us, we’ve carried stories about our voices for a long time—stories that suggest we should be “seen and not heard,” stories that demand we stay small, silent. Some of us have even been told to “mouth the words” because our voices weren’t “good enough” to be heard. These wounds show up in us as adults in various ways: our inability to speak up for ourselves, to set boundaries, to have difficult conversations, and even to sing!

When we choose to let go of these old stories that have kept us silent and begin to embrace the strength and power of our voices, so much can shift in our lives. This work can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. I’ve witnessed many women step into the power of their voices through sacred singing in community, using simple yet profound tools like vocal exercises, meditation, and mantra. Those who embark on this journey often realize:

• “My voice matters.”
• “I’ve gained the confidence to speak up and set boundaries.”
• “I want more of this sacred community in my life!”
• “The power of being witnessed.”
• “The importance of allowing myself to be heard.”
• “There is incredible power in the voice of community.”
• “Anything is possible when we have the support of sisterhood.”

Are you ready to begin unraveling old stories and developing a healthy relationship with your voice?

Invitation: Set aside some quiet time with your journal to begin this exploration by answering these questions:

• What is your relationship with your voice?
• What were you told about your voice as a child?
• Are you able to express yourself in the ways you’d like to?
• Have you forgotten the joy of singing?

It’s amazing what can happen in a supportive, sacred space where we feel safe enough to answer the question, “What is my relationship with my voice?”
