Episode #109 Speaking Up For Yourself And Your Business with Sally Prosser

In this episode, I'm joined by voice coach Sally Prosser to dismantle the myth that you need to be perfectly polished to be heard, revealing why your "stumbles" might actually be the key to deeper connection. We dive into the psychology of safety, the vital difference between time management and "energy mastery," and the wild story of how she manifested a meeting with Oprah; if you're ready for "business audibility" and to find the courage to speak your truth, this conversation is the one you've been waiting for.
