Hey ladies, welcome back to another episode today. We are going to be talking about learning how to connect with your voice. It is so important to learn how to connect with your own voice. And today we are going to be talking about why it's so important to learn how to connect with your own voice and how. You are going to begin to learn to connect with your voice. All right, so let's go ahead and get into it. So why is it that we are so disconnected from our own voice? The reason why is because we have so much noise in our ears. We have noise from just society in general. We have noise from my friends. We have noise from my family. We just have so much noise and sometimes we look for those noises as well. However, what I learned that this caused from my own personal experience is that I It has caused me to have unnecessary overwhelm, stress, and self doubt. It has caused me to suppress my own desires. It also has caused me to lose sight. With my own creativity and my own perspective, my own insight. And your voice is so, so important one thing I learned is that your voice can change your entire life. Your voice can, your voice is your money. Your voice is your money. There's so much power in your ability to communicate, there's so much power in your inside voice, there's so much power in your external voice, there's so much power. There's so many things that you can do as a expression of your own voice, such as YouTube, such as podcasting, such as creating a blog, photography writing a book art. There are so many different expressions of voices out there. And that's just the beauty of being able to connect with your own voice. When you can connect to your own voice and put it out into the world, your life will change. Your life will change. The reason why I say that your life can absolutely change when you learn to connect with your voice, not just because of money, but more so because the more you start connecting to your voice, the more you connect with your purpose. In order for you to fulfill your purpose in this life, in some way shape or form you have to be able to learn how to Connect with your voice and then use your voice Through that connection that you have use your voice and put it out into the world in whichever way again Like I said, whether that is Creating blogging that is creating a business. Your business is the expression of your voice. Your voice is your insight. Your voice is your creativity. Your voice is your dreams. Your voice is your ideas, right? Your imagination. All of that is a reflection of. Your own voice that inner voice, being transformed externally. This is something that I teach in my course, Impact and Attract because impact is always going to be a reflection of your voice from your own personal experiences, from your ideas, from your creativity. And that impact from your voice is a reflection of you putting out into the world, a part of your purpose. And so this is something that I teach because We all want to feel connected to our purpose. We all want to learn how to use our own voice and be able to put it out into the world. There are so many women in this world who are so disconnected from their own voice. They don't know themselves. They don't know what they want. They don't know, you know, what they have to offer. They don't know the impact that they can create. They don't know the change that they can make. That's all connected to your voice being able to connect with yourself and discarding not fully discarding but lowering the voice of everyone else if everyone else and heighten your volume heighten your intuition heighten your creativity. So let's go ahead and get into how How are you going to be able to connect with your own voice and number one is Really answering what it is that you want. That's the first thing we need to know what we want. When we don't know what we want We have confusion There's no clarity And that causes a lack of confidence in being able to connect with your voice and being able to use your voice. So what is it that you want remember how I said like from my personal experiences Because I had the voices of so many people In my ear of what I should be doing Of can I do this? That is not the right way to go Because I had those voices. I suppressed my desires. I suppressed a lot of my desires until You I had to learn to connect with my own voice and say actually No, I can do this. This is what I want and this is the way that i'm going to go because my voice Is leading my life, right? No one else and so You have to get clear on what you want when you know what you want You are going to be able to learn how to turn the volume up And you're in your body turn the volume up of your own voice and be able to surprise lower the voices of others because you're going to realize when you learn to connect with your own voice, then that is going to change your life. You're going to learn so much about yourself that you don't even know. All So now the second thing. That you are going to do to learn how to connect with your voice is create, create, create, create This is going to be Key and you learning how to connect with your voice. So just like I said, how You connect into your voice can lead to your purpose It can absolutely lead to your purpose and i've learned this from my personal experience and this was through creation You So when I started my podcast, that was my first form of starting to share my voice, started to share what I thought was interesting, what I want to impact people with, what I want to inspire, what my personal experience was. And within that, I was able to connect. With my purpose, but that only happened through creation. That only happened through creation As women you are natural born creators. We are all creators here, right? God put it god put us here to create create life to create we have purpose and to build out that purpose through creation so You as especially you as women we create life Literally, we create babies. So you have so much power when you create, you have so much juiciness inside of you. You have so much ideas that is just sitting inside of you that you don't even connect with, but it's there and it's in you and you naturally create from your body. We produce milk, we produce babies, we create, we create so many things. So like I said in the beginning, how can you start creating? How can you start creating? How can you start creating with using your voice? Again, I mentioned, the best way from my personal experience to do it is again, through podcasting, through YouTube, through creating a blog, through doing, I don't know, if you want to be a photographer. An artist, dancing, being a choreographer. These are all expressions of your voice and every woman, every woman has a voice. Every woman should, should be doing one of these or finding your own way to share your voice. The best way to do it is audibly, audibly, audibly, visually being able to. Share your voice and the reason why Is because when you do that You're able to connect with others you're able to impact others You're able to inspire others All right, you're able to relate to others just through sharing your voice, your insight, and honestly, guys, it's so through your personal experiences, don't doubt your personal experiences. Don't put it down. Everything that's happened to you. Not all of it was happening for you, but there has been a lot of things that was happening for you. And that was forming your own voice. Being able to connect with that voice and you can create from your personal experiences. You can create and you can change lives. That's why that's what you see with everyone that has something, every entrepreneur, every business owner, every thought leader, what did they use? They use their creativity and that creativity, it all came from their internal voice, no matter if it came out visually, no matter if it came out audibly or became on paper, whatever. It came out in some way shape or form and that was all through creation. The more you create the more you connect with your own voice the more you create The more you connect with your own voice. So let me give you one more example about what I mean of the more you create, the more you are able to connect with your own voice. So when I first started podcasting, I just thought that I needed to have people that I was interviewing because I didn't know how to Trust my own voice. I didn't feel like I had a voice. I didn't know if people wanted to listen to me So I felt like let me just have interviews. Let me interview a whole bunch of people but I had this deep desire and I kept feeling this sense of this sense of unfulfillment Like it was just like this cloudy Feeling of i'm not putting my voice out there because of that i'm still suppressing my desire And so when I started practicing doing some more solo episodes It was very very very uncomfortable but what happened in that discomfort is that I Started learning my voice and I started liking my voice. I started liking my insight and I started to believe in that insight. I started to believe like, Ooh, okay, girl, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. And what happened with that is that people started reflecting back to me that they like what I'm saying. Opportunities. Okay. Started opening up for me when I started using my voice versus Overshadowing that voice with having guests Opportunities speaking engagements that I didn't even have to chase down because I started using my own voice people telling me I inspired them because I started to connect with my own voice. It is uncomfortable learning how to connect with your own voice, but it's so worth it It is so worth it. And so I want to share that with you Not just to show you not just to tell you all the opportunities But I wanted to share that with you because at one point I was, even though I was creating content, I still was disconnected from my own voice. And that only stayed that way until I started creating solo content because that's what allowed me to get out all the things that I wanted to talk about and learn how to trust myself. The third way that you are going to learn how to start connecting to your voice is, and I know me singing is, even though I'm creating a platform, is I want you to learn how to minimize, not stop, but minimize listening to YouTube videos, podcasts short forms, TikTok videos, and blogs of you know Just learning so much or listening to different people now The reason why I say this because I do think I do truly believe unless I wouldn't be creating this platform I wouldn't be using my voice. I truly believe in listening to motivational videos. I truly believe in learning learning through youtube learning through podcasts I truly believe in being inspired by watching people's videos. I believe in that 1, 000 percent or I wouldn't be here doing this. I truly believe that. However, what from my experience And even a recent experience which really caused this episode which really inspired this episode today this video today is one It causes information overload. That's number one. It causes information overload and that goes into Again being overwhelmed and stressed out for no reason because there's so much information What that does also too is taking on too many different perspectives is you begin to lose a little bit touch with your own perspective, with your own insight, and it starts to be a little bit clashing, You start questioning your insight, your intuition, especially if that's something that you actually know deep down inside. If your body is telling you to do something, but then you, you're listening, to so many different perspectives. And one person's telling you to do this. And one person's saying, do it this way. And then one person's saying, do it this way. Then what happens is that you're, you don't know, you're like, you don't know. And then you disconnect from your own intuition. Your intuition is your voice, your voice, your perspective. Your desires. What do you want? So too many different perspectives too many different voices can block out your voice It doesn't mean turn it off. It just means turn it down turn it down Minimize it. When I realized when I started to feel myself getting overwhelmed because i'm learning So I'm learning a lot I'm a constant learner and there's something that I'm truly trying to learn how to get better at and with that being said I'm listening to different videos and I started to feel my body shutting down. I started to feel myself getting overwhelmed and like anxious Because I didn't know what I was doing right or I wasn't doing wrong and then I said, you know what? No, what do I want? How do I want to do this? I'm gonna take bits and pieces from these people But that's it. I turn it off. That's it. I'm not listening to any more of these videos for like a month Because sometimes it has to be like that We have to learn down. We have to learn how to turn down the volume Of others and turn up our volume learn what you need to learn and close it close the podcast Close the youtube videos close the blog close Instagram and tiktok right not forever But just temporarily so that you can learn how to connect with your own voice. Your voice your voice listen to your own voice and go create that's gonna change your life That's what's going to attract, you know, your dream opportunities to you. That's what's going to attract your dream life to your dream goals, to your dream business, to you by learning how to connect with your voice and go create with that voice. It is literally as simple as that. Know what you want, connect with that voice and go create. Simple, as simple as that. So minimize it or learn how to just have a balance and know when it's time for you to just say, I don't want to listen to this anymore. It's time for me to actually listen to my own voice. You will feel it. You'll feel it. When you feel that overwhelmed, you will know when it's time to shut it down and to shut it down. All right. So number five is journal everything. Journaling is such a powerful way to learn how to connect with your own voice. One thing that I love to do and I think I've shared this before Is writing down what feels good? What doesn't what feels good? What doesn't feel good? What are my desires? down everything, writing down my feelings. If I'm crying, why am I crying this way? If I'm happy writing those out, this is how you learn how to connect with your own voice because you get it out of your head and you get it onto paper and then you can see it in plain view. You can see it. When you can see something on paper, you can learn how to connect with your voice. I don't care what it is just journal. One thing that I was reading I just started reading this book and it's called. Oh, man It's called something i'll put it in the description box, but it is art is something or creativity something however In the book the very first chapter the author tells us How to Connect more to our creativity is to do this thing called morning pages And morning pages is something where you write three pages every morning Of anything any and everything and the reason why she advised
Hey guys, so sorry while I'm editing this video, I realized that When my internet went out, it cut a huge part of what I was just explaining. But what I was saying is that the morning pages, the reason why she advised this is because she wanted one, wanted her readers to be able to get out everything, to get things out of your mind, to get things, you know, to get your feelings out and get it out on paper because when we hold so many things inside that's causing us to block our creativity, our mind holds so much energy, the thoughts hold so much energy, and that's a huge reason why we're so disconnected from our own voice and so disconnected from from our creativity. Every morning, get out on paper, write it out three morning pages so that we can start connecting back to that innate creativity that again, that as women that we have is our divine right to have that creativity. We were born with massive creativity. We create life and that creativity is really connected to our voice. We need our voice to be able to create the way that we truly desire to create, we need our voice. And so that's why she was advising her readers to do morning pages to get it out. Even if you don't believe that is anything valuable, you're just writing. everything out. It doesn't matter. whatever it is. When you get that out so that you can actually learn to get things out of your own mind, quiet your mind and be able to tune in and connect with yourself and ignite that creativity that you have. All right. So let me get back to the actual video. Sorry guys. My internet went out just like out the blue. So I had to switch from my computer to my phone. However, if you want to take this a step further, if you want to learn, How to connect with your voice on an even deeper level and how to make impact from that voice And from that impact be able to attract your desires to be able to attract amazing opportunities with ease and less effort just from using your voice Just from creating from your voice to impact and inspire.. Then go to CleapatraWilliams.Com. Take a look at Impact and attract and see if you would like to join and see if it's for you. If this is something that you want to do, then I'm so happy to have you. All right, so now how you are going to be able to tell if it is truly not your voice. These are the things that i've noticed. When I realized when I feel That this is not my voice. This is someone else's voice overriding my voice These are the few things that i've noticed It limits me. I feel restricted. So those limiting beliefs, I feel like I either cant do something or it's either too hard for me. I just have so much restriction around something when I know that it's not my voice. Another thing to tell when it's not your voice is You feel extremely anxious, you feel anxious, you feel overwhelmed because you're either taking too much information in that you don't know how to get out of the noise, get the noise out of your mind and just connect with yourself. So that is another way to be able to tell that you, that you are not tapped into that true inner voice. Okay. The next way to tell if you're not connected to your voice is you do not feel creative. You don't feel creative whatsoever. You feel like it's either too hard to create. You don't feel inspired. You either have imposter syndrome around it, This is how you know when you're not connected to your own voice, that creativity is blocked. It doesn't seem fun. It feels cloudy, right? So that is a huge sign that you are not connected to your voice. In another one, this also ties a little bit into limiting beliefs and feeling restrict, restricted, but the self doubt, self doubt overwhelms because maybe people telling you, you can't do this, you can't do that. Or you heard that it was impossible that you've created so much self, self doubt for yourself from the voices of childhood, from school, from friends, from family. Or just seeing other people, those self doubts. That's when you know it's not your voice. Sometimes it's good to have the voices of other people when they're speaking life, right? A little bit more life into us versus them with ourselves. To borrow someone else's strong belief of goodness and greatness, then that's good. Right. But when there isn't so much self doubt, if it's not speaking life, if it's not lifting you up and igniting your life force, igniting your passion, igniting your excitement, then it is not your voice or is a voice that you need to turn down. So that you can learn how to turn your voice up higher. All right. So that is it ladies for today's video. That is it for today's episode. If you love content like this, then make sure you go ahead and give me a thumbs up. I really appreciate it. Leave a comment. Let me know what you think. Also, I am launching a brand new community for entrepreneurs. New, aspiring, been an entrepreneur for a few years. It is called the Thriving Inner Circle. This is a community that is all about building connection, building friendship with people who, you know, share passions like you share. and have a similar mindset or even a more expanded mindset.
