Episode 11: Say It Out Loud with Vasavi Kumar
Speaking our dreams, thoughts and goals out loud gives them power and intention.
We keep a lot to ourselves for the fear of failing or being judged. Or it could even be that we simply feel like we're not ready to share our aspirations with others.
But keeping things bottled up inside of us - both the good and the bad - can often hinder our progress and prevent us from reaching our full potential.
When we say something out loud, we bring it into the physical world and make it real. We make it tangible. By verbalizing our thoughts and goals, we make a commitment to ourselves to take action and work towards achieving them.
This episode left me feeling incredibly inspired. Vasavi Kumar's courageous story about her struggles with bipolar disorder refreshed my perspective about seeking support and being vulnerable enough to be helped. In this episode, she also talks about how she discovered her own voice, tapped into her creative spirit, and helped others along the way—all because she learned how to say it out loud.
Say it out loud and see the beauty of speaking things into existence, breaking barriers within, and bringing your own self-empowerment to light.
