Finding Your Voice After Narcissistic Abuse: With Public Speaking Expert Natasha Cruz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
SUMMARY
In this powerful episode, Shar sits down with her dear friend, communication strategist and public speaking coach Natasha Cruz, to discuss the journey of reclaiming your voice after it has been silenced by narcissistic abuse. Natasha shares her personal story of overcoming the fear of public speaking and how she discovered that our voice is more than just sound—it's a carrier of our inner confidence and authority. They explore the signs of a lost voice, the paralyzing power of regret, and why "running towards your Goliath" is the key to stepping into your calling.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR
- Why the thing you fear most is often exactly what you are called to do.
- What are the indicators of eroded confidence?
- Why being seen and known is a fundamental human need and how raising your voice validates your existence.
- Why dreaming is an act of confidence and how to start dreaming again.
