Thanks, Sherold. I told myself that I couldn't sing. That voice sounded awful and I shouldn't sing in public. Often this extended to my speaking voice. I resolved to take voice lessons which helped me gain experience and confidence. Now I sing in a local choir.

My plan is to keep plugging away at these limiting stories and beliefs! Thanks for the encouragement and prompts!

Janice - you have to be proud of overcoming this fear! Wow, singing is right up there with public speaking. I think this is exactly how to get rid of fear so you can remove the obstacle that blocks you. Keep plugging away, Janice. I'm so proud of you!

I love how you beautifully capture the struggle of finding one’s voice amidst societal pressures. Marge Piercy’s words resonate deeply

Aaliya - thank you. We are conditioned early in life not to speak up. But undoing these beliefs is what I love doing♥️♥️
