From Fear to Freedom: Learning to Use Your Voice and Be Seen with Linda Ugelow

In this heartfelt episode of Holistic Health with Melissa, Melissa sits down with vocal confidence coach and author Linda Ugelow to explore the deep, often hidden roots of our fear of being seen and heard. Once a professional performer who secretly dreaded public speaking, Linda vulnerably shares her journey of uncovering how childhood trauma, family dynamics, and internalized perfectionism kept her voice suppressed for decades.
