Do your ever feel the pull of self-silencing? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with counselling psychologist Dr. Simone Grey to explore why so many people edit themselves before they even speak. We unpack the connection between voice, the body, trauma, identity and the social structures that shape who feels safe to be heard. You'll discover: Why self-silencing happens long before words leave your mouth. The subtle signs you're holding yourself back (from apologising to the "swallowed sentence"). Why voice isn't just about the mind or the body - but the whole self. How history and social systems continue to influence whose voices are valued. Practical ways to begin speaking up through small, low-stakes acts of courage.

In this episode, I’m making the case for being a tryhard. Somewhere along the way, “try-hard” became an insult. A way of shaming people for caring too much, putting in effort, or being seen to want something badly. Trying isn’t embarrassing. I explore how we often mistake our current ability for our future potential, and why so many people shut down their dreams before they’ve even given themselves a chance to begin. We also go deeper into the real fear holding people back - not failure itself but being seen failing. And why so many people stay silent, stay small, or stay “safe” because they don’t want to look awkward while they learn. Because confidence doesn’t come first. Trying does. If you’ve ever held yourself back because you didn’t feel ready, this one’s for you.

I know it might sound crazy, but I spent the first 7 years in business without an official brand. Waiting until everything is “perfect” is holding you back. If you’ve been overthinking your message, delaying posting, or telling yourself you’ll start “once it’s all ready”… this is your sign. Because it’s more important that you post than what you post. Your voice builds trust. Your voice creates connection. Your voice is how people remember you. And in a world of AI-generated content, your human voice has never been more powerful. 🔗 LINKS: Get your copy of my book VOICEPRINT NOW - https://www.sallyprosser.com.au/book ✨ Get the VOICEPRINT CODES ORACLE CARD DECK: AUS/NZ CLICK HERE OUTSIDE AUS/NZ CLICK HERE NEW CLIENTS - 60 min 1:1 BOOK HERE Want to explore what’s holding your voice back?
