164 | Finding Your Voice: Stop Editing Yourself and Start Trusting What You Have to Say (Ft. Susan Browning).

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for permission, start listening to yourself and give what is inside you a chance to exist in the world.Because for creators, entrepreneurs and Dream Builders, finding your voice isn't optional.Your ideas need your voice.Your creativity needs your voice.Your desires need your voice.And you cannot create the life, work, business or impact you want while continually silencing what you actually want to say.In this episode of Dream Makers, host Claire Byrt sits down with singing teacher, vocal coach and studio owner Susan Browning for a powerful conversation about finding your voice, self-trust, creativity, confidence, self-expression and having the courage to be fully yourself.It begins with a moment Susan experienced while working with a kindergarten class. She asked the children to raise their hands if they believed their voice mattered.Hardly any hands went up.That moment opens up a much bigger conversation: When do we start editing ourselves? When do we learn that it's safer to stay quiet? And what becomes possible when we start trusting our voice again?Susan shares what years of teaching singing and vocal coaching have taught her about the connection between voice, breath, confidence, emotional expression, creativity and taking up space. She also shares her own evolution from people-pleasing and performance into what she beautifully describes as:Performance - Play - Presence.Claire and Susan explore why music can help us access what words sometimes can't, the connection between voice and identity, nervous system regulation, intuition, being “too much”, taking up space and why being more fully yourself gives other people permission to do the same.Because finding your voice is about so much more than learning to sing.It's about speaking your truth. Expressing what you want. Trusting yourself. Creating. Asking. Taking the next step. And having the courage to give what's inside you a red-hot go.Your voice matters.
