Speaking our truth is the most important work we can do in our lifetimes. Find out why and how to do so in this episode. Plus, discover how our voice connects to our presence and authenticity and what it can reveal about yourself. This show is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they don’t have a voice, are unheard, or want to reclaim their truth.

Elissa is a voice and presence coach, and the founder of Voice Body Connection. After suddenly losing her own voice at age 21, Elissa began studying the mechanics of voice. Over time she developed a unique approach that empowers performers, leaders, and speakers to optimize their voices and share them more authentically.

Quotes to remember: 

“Not only was I not allowed to talk, but I didn’t know how to talk about what had happened to me.”

“The impulse for expression is in every cell of our body.”

“Mastery of anything is about doing the necessary and releasing the excess.”
