Many women building heart led businesses struggle with their voice in ways that are hard to explain.

They care deeply about their work.
They have meaningful things to say.

But when it comes time to speak clearly, confidently, or consistently, something tightens.

Often this gets interpreted as a visibility issue or a messaging problem.
But for daughters of narcissistic mothers, the roots are frequently much deeper.
When speaking honestly once carried emotional or physical consequences, the nervous system learns to adapt.

You soften your words.
You read the room before speaking.
You question your own perception.

Those patterns can quietly follow you into adulthood and into the way you show up in your work.

The good news is that your authentic voice was never actually lost.
It was just conditioned.

If you want to start exploring how your voice naturally works, I created a free Human Design mini report called Finding Your Authentic Voice.
Just comment "Voice" and I'll send you the link to download yours!

If you host workshops, retreats, or community gatherings (or you’ve been dreaming about creating them) this event might be for you.

The Event Alchemy Dinner is an evening for facilitators and event hosts to connect, exchange ideas, and enjoy a beautiful meal together at Skaneateles Fields.

These kinds of gatherings are always interesting because you never know who you’ll end up sitting next to or what ideas might start to spark in conversation.

I’ll be there Wednesday night and would love to see some familiar faces.

If you grew up in an environment where your voice was criticized, dismissed, or rewritten, you may have learned something very specific about expression.

You learned to be careful.

Careful about how directly you speak.
Careful about how much space your words take up.
Careful about whether what you are saying might upset someone.

For many daughters of narcissistic mothers, this pattern begins early.

You may have learned to read the emotional climate of the room before speaking.
To soften your opinions.
To question your own perception.

At the time, that adaptation made sense. It helped you navigate a complicated environment.

But those same patterns often follow women into adulthood, including into the way they show up in their work.

I see this all the time with entrepreneurs, coaches, creatives, and healers who deeply care about what they offer but still feel hesitation when it comes to speaking about it.

They second guess themselves.
They soften their message.
They wait for the right moment.

It can look like a visibility problem or a marketing problem, but very often the roots go much deeper.

Reclaiming your authentic voice begins with understanding how your voice actually works and what shaped it in the first place.

If this resonates with you, I created a free Human Design mini report called Finding Your Authentic Voice.

For a lot of women, speaking their truth isn’t just about communication.
It’s about history.

The moment in childhood when saying the wrong thing brought criticism.
The times your emotions were called “too much.”
The subtle signals that it was safer to soften, edit, or stay quiet.

Over time, many of us learned to shape our voices around what felt safest in the room we were in.
And the tricky thing is… those patterns can stay with us long after the environment that created them is gone.

This is where I love bringing Human Design into voice work.

Because your voice isn’t random.
Your timing, your energy and the way expression moves through your system actually follow a pattern.

Some people are designed to speak spontaneously.
Some people need the right moment or invitation.
Some people process internally before words arrive.

When we understand those mechanics, something inside us can let go and soften.

Instead of trying to force ourselves to communicate the “right” way, we begin to understand how our voice naturally works.

This is the work we’ll be exploring inside Designed to Speak throughout the month of March inside the Elevate Community.

Instead of a one-day workshop, we’ll move through the process slowly over four live calls with time to reflect and integrate in between.
Our first call is Tuesday at 7:30pm.
If your voice has been asking for a little more space lately, I’d love to explore this with you.

You may have noticed I’ve been a little quieter than usual on social media lately.

January and February were really full months over here with workshops, one-on-one sessions, and some deep work happening with clients.

After a stretch like that, I’ve learned the importance of giving myself time to rest and recalibrate before jumping into the next season.

Between that, some intense astrological weather, the even more intense collective goings-on and quite a bit of behind-the-scenes tech troubleshooting and backend restructuring, I took a little space to reset.

Now that things are settling into place, there are some really beautiful gatherings and workshops coming up this spring, so I wanted to share them all in one place.

Swipe through to see where you can join me over the next few months.

This past weekend I offered the very first in-person Designed to Speak workshop at ISD Oneonta… and I’m still integrating what unfolded.

We had an intimate group of eight who showed up ready to go deep, be radically honest, open, creative, and fully willing to see themselves through the lens of their design. Watching each person recognize their own voice patterns and gifts in real time never stops feeling like magic to me.

Also… my favorite Human Design nerd moment: the aura types in the room almost perfectly mirrored the global distribution. It always amazes me how the right people find their way into the space.

This felt like such an aligned group to help me initiate this newest evolution of Designed to Speak and I can already feel new pathways opening from the connections formed there.
You know that feeling when something is beginning but you can’t fully see the shape yet? That’s where I am… in the best way.

I’m currently manifesting the next Designed to Speak gathering somewhere in the Rochester area, maybe Canandaigua or Ithaca, maybe another aligned community that’s hungry for this kind of deep, voice-centered work.

So I’ll put this out there:
If you know of (or own) a space that would love to host an immersive transformational workshop like this (tables and chairs available), I would truly love to connect. Send me a DM.

And if this work speaks to you but you’re craving something more intimate… I also offer a 1:1 Authentic Voice Alignment experience where we do this work in a deeply personal container.

If silence makes you feel pressured to speak, this post is for you.
The isn’t here to fill space —
these people are here to speak when it actually matters.

⏰Timing is your superpower.

Join me this weekend to not only explore these shadows but to rewrite your future so that you can embody the highest gift of how you are "Designed to Speak" — In Person Saturday Jan 31 from 1-5pm at

We can also do this work together over zoom in the "Authentic Voice Alignment Package". More info at the link in my bio. 🥰

🤫Does silence make you squirm?

Not because you have something important to say…
but because being quiet starts to feel like you might disappear.

So you jump in.
Fill the space.
Say something — anything.

And then later you think…
“Why did I say that?”
“That wasn’t even my truth.”

This is a really common shadow for people with an undefined throat.

The pressure isn’t to speak clearly —
it’s to be seen.

Your voice is designed to have the most power at the absolute right moment but if you are always speaking because you feel pressure to fill the silence, your voice will be more likely to be ignored (kind of like a “boy who cried wolf” energy)

✨ We will be exploring and rewriting this pattern inside Designed to Speak on Jan 31 at the .

And if you can’t make it in person, the Authentic Voice Alignment Package offers this work 1:1.

When you are aware of your voice’s mechanics you will learn that Silence isn’t always erasure.

It’s a big part of how your voice arrives.

Have you ever kept talking in a conversation…
and only realized afterward that you didn’t know where the words were coming from?

This is a really common experience for people with — especially ones.

For years, I would replay conversations in my head,
worried I had overwhelmed someone or come on too strong.

For a while, I thought the solution was to speak less.
But what actually helped was understanding how my throat works.

Now, when I feel the channel open, I’ll name it out loud:
“Once I get going, it can be hard for me to stop — you’re welcome to jump in.”

That simple shift changed everything.

Less self-monitoring. More trust. More ease in connection.

Your voice doesn’t need to be managed.
It needs to be understood.

✨ We’re working with these nuances inside the full length workshop "Designed to Speak" on January 31 at the . More information and registration is available at the link in my bio.
