You know that moment when you’re about to speak, and something inside you wants to run for the hills?

The tight chest.

The dry mouth.

The voice in your head whispering, “Who am I to say this?”

Ever tried to “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” and push through” all that—to pull yourself together and fake your way through—only to feel like something sacred got lost in the process?

In the latest episode of Soulful Speaking, I take you inside a behind-the-scenes moment from the Soulful Speaking Immersion, where we name the inner voices that try to protect us… by shutting us down.

I call them the soul suckers—and they’re not who you really are. They’re old habits. Old protectors. Outdated patterns that just want to keep you safe.

Here’s what we explore:

⚡️ The body often responds to speaking like it’s a threat—but it can learn a new story.

⚡️The “soul suckers” (Nervous Nellies, Imposter Monsters, Stage Mothers, and Below the Belt Bastards) are old protectors, not truths.

⚡️Naming what you’re releasing can help you reclaim your voice.

⚡️All that sensation is a sign that something sacred is trying to come through.

⚡️Your job isn’t to fake it or fix it, but to hold space for what’s real.

We dive deep into the real, raw, and revolutionary work of turning feelings into fuel—and finding the courage to speak from your soul.

✨ This episode is a breath of fresh air for anyone who’s ever felt “too sensitive” or “too much.”
