unmuted — reclaiming your tone in work and life

a candid episode about how we silence ourselves — why it’s somatic, where it shows up in our work and marketing, and how I’m learning to move through it as I redesign my business (and lean into sales without shrieking). personal, practical, and grounded.inside this episode:* erin’s voice journey so far: from quiet teacher to someone who wants to be heard without performing.* what self‑censorship is — simple definition and how it shows up beyond politics (fear, reputation, fitting in).* where it showed up for me: offers i didn’t launch, stories i edited out, and the small pulls to make myself “safer” in branding.* marketing and branding: the edits we make to be liked vs. the ones that make us disappear.* the somatic side: how the body shuts down, tenses, or numbs when we censor — and how sensation gives us the clue to honesty.* the real cost: what holding back does to your decisions, energy, and creative container.* my bridge from taboo → true: why i’m obsessed with learning sales (not hustle, but humane craft) as a radical act of showing up.* the legwork: what she watched, practiced, and mirrored to become more present in selling without performance.* sustainability in selling: we’re always offering ourselves — the question is how to do it without depletion.* the podcast story: how this show is shifting to flow with me, not against me — more honest, less polished, more useful.links & resources* June 20th | Summer Solstice In The Park * Connect with Erin on Instagram: Erin Marguerite * Order a copy of my book: Wild Beauty This is a public episode.
