How To Stop People Pleasing Your Voice & Actually Be Heard w/ Sarah Ruby Leffley

from In Her Era · host Monique Took

There are women who are brilliant at what they do and completely invisible because of how they communicate. And then there are women who walk into a room and own it before they say a single word.The difference isn't talent. It's not qualifications. It's not even confidence.It's your voice. And most of us were never taught how to use it.Sarah Ruby Leffley is a communication educator, law & politics graduate, and one of the most honest people I've had on this show.We talk about why women water themselves down, why being "good at communicating" is probably not what you think it is, and the patterns in your voice that are making you less successful than you think you are.In this episode we cover:Why you can be a 10 out of 10 at what you do but speak at a 3, and that’s how people will perceive you.The patterns in your voice that signal you don't trust yourself and how to identify yoursHow perfectionism, people pleasing and the fear of being wrong are controlling how you show up in every room.Why saying no is a complete sentence in theory but completely falls apart in practice, and what to do insteadHow to have hard conversations without erupting or shutting down, Sarah's two step framework that actually worksThe one question to ask the people closest to you that will give you more self awareness than any personality test ever couldYou didn't lose your voice in one moment. You lost it in every small moment you abandoned yourself just to be liked.🤝 CONNECTSarah Ruby LeffleyInstagram: @sarahrubyleffleyFree Masterclass "The Composed Communicator" The PodcastFollow Monique Took: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@itsmoniquetook⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow In Her Era: ⁠@inhererapodcast⁠🧾 OTHER LINKS & RECEIPTS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Wellness Edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - the curated wellness newsletter for ambitious women⭐ SUPPORT THE SHOWPlease Subscribe, Rate, and Review over on Apple Podcasts to help support the show!
