Being seen & heard

Ok, tell me if this is not the most poetic way to begin a podcast - we’re actually going to be talking about voice. In the first 2 episodes we’ll be looking at ‘voice’ from a couple of different angles. Episode 2 is more about your brand voice and how to find it - (or rather why ‘finding it’ isn’t actually the answer…) but this episode is more about… Coming out of hiding to begin… …Using your voice. Speaking up. Showing up. Why do we hide? Hiddeness: Unseen, unheard, concealed, obscured, buried, covered, invisible, undercover, disguised, screened, cloaked, masked, unrevealed… When we think of hiding it can imply that we’re really only speaking about something visual - but actually, we can be completely visible, but still in hiding… Coming out of hiding is not just about being seen. It’s about using your voice. We can also be showing up, in our business, our work, our life, our art - but not using our voice. We’re creating, but we’re not creating what we know is on our heart to make and share. We keep pushing it down… sometimes not even knowing we’re doing it. But why do we do this? There must be a myriad of reasons - but in this episode I’ve got 2 I’m going to look at here as to why we hide and silence ourselves. So make sure you listen to the episode to dive into those reasons, and also what we can do about it… And also! We talk about this moment: Because maybe right now, it’s not so much about ‘finding your voice’ as it is about releasing it… Taking those things you’ve kept in a hidden folder and beginning to share them with the world… Unhiding that website from ‘under construction’ mode… Finally sharing that idea… Starting that business… Launching your blog… Beginning your podcast… Allowing yourself to show up online, on social media or even writing to your email list… …It’s time to release your voice. Listen to the episode and let me know what you think! Much love, K Get full access to Keeley Rees at keeleyrees.substack.com/subscribe
