207. My voice was never the problem (Speaking up as creators & entrepreneurs) (Jam Gamble)
There’s a moment when we’re taught to quiet ourselves. Maybe someone said they couldn’t understand your accent. Maybe you were told you were “too much.” Or maybe something happened that made you start playing small just to stay safe.
And so your voice – your real voice – gets buried under layers of doubt, conditioning, and fear… But what happens when you decide you’re done with that?
Today’s guest is Jam Gamble, an educator, award-winning media personality, and one of the fiercest advocates for vocal empowerment I’ve ever met. She’s the CEO behind Slay The Mic, a program that helps speakers, content creators, and entrepreneurs transform how they use their voice.
In this episode, we talk about reclaiming your voice after it’s been silenced, why your story is more powerful than you think, and how giving yourself permission to be heard might just be the most pivotal thing you do. Because somewhere out there, someone is waiting for you to go first.
