Many who have been urged to "speak up!" in various settings understand the deeper issue at play. For individuals—including women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks—who struggle to find their voice, the challenge often extends beyond willpower.

Drawing on her expertise and the latest research in public speaking, linguistics, and social science, she offers tools to unlock the potential of every voice—whether you're an entrepreneur, a new political candidate, a creative with a vision, or a mom re-entering the workforce. Granting yourself permission to speak is about more than conveying a message; it’s about showing up authentically and finding joy in public speaking. With accessible tools and heartfelt insights, this work presents a revolutionary perspective on public speaking and redefines what true power sounds like—namely, you.
