You know that feeling when something invisible holds you back…
From speaking up, showing up, or sharing what’s on your heart.

You want to raise your hand… but stay quiet.
You dream of being heard… but play it small.
You know what you want to say… but your voice feels like it’s stuck.

It’s not because you’re broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re navigating a kind of static — and there’s a way through it.

The Soul Suckers: What’s Really Going On?

That invisible force holding you back?
I call them the Soul Suckers—the inner voices that hijack our truth and feed us lies like:

“You’re not ready.”
“You’ll take up too much time.”
“You’re not smart / experienced / important enough.”

These voices show up in a few different forms:
✨ The Nervous Nellies
✨ The Controlling Stage Mothers
✨ The Imposter Monsters
✨ The Below-the-Belt Bastards

They try to protect us… but in doing so, they keep us small.

And their weapon of choice?
Static.
The noise that clouds your presence, your clarity, your voice.

So… How Do We Clear the Static?

We don’t do it by fighting the Soul Suckers.
We do it by gently taking back the mic—and speaking soulfully through:

Intend. Align. Invite.

✨ Intend

Set a soul-centered intention before the noise takes over.
What do you want to create?
What impact were you born to have?

When we intend to speak soulfully, we create a beacon—a clear, steady signal that shines through the noise, lighting the way for those we’re here to serve. 

✨ Align

Come home to your body, your breath, your energy.
Instead of spiraling in fear, we root into the frequency of our soul.

Alignment isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present.

✨ Invite

Let your truth land.
Listen to their non-verbal half of the conversation.
Notice how the room shifts – from hiding behind their own soul suckers, to showing up and being seen. 

That’s your intention coming to life—right before your eyes.

The Result?

You don’t just speak.
You resonate.

You clear the static.
You speak from your soul.
And others feel it.
