How to Find Your Voice and Express Your Unique Gifts (feat. Cynthia James)
The voice is about expression, communication, or a proclamation.
But many people are afraid to use it to talk about what they want, feel, think, or believe. They withhold for fear of being ridiculed, punished, or excluded – especially with the rise of cancel culture.
Today’s guest, Cynthia James, knows this—because that was her experience. She’s here to share what she learned from her seven decades of experience, trying to step into her power and find her own voice.
Cynthia James is a transformational specialist and the author of three award-winning and bestselling books. She has co-hosted a radio talk show, a television talk show and is a sought-after radio guest. An ordained licensed minister, she has facilitated hundreds of workshops, seminars, and keynotes, including Celebrate Your Life, Omega Institute, and Woman Arising. Cynthia has led events abroad in England and Ireland and facilitated pilgrimages to Peru, France and Italy.
During our conversation, Cynthia explains why our voice matters and how to use it to express new ideas that transform ourselves and others. She also offers advice on overcoming common obstacles and amplifying our voices so that we can be heard and create an impact.
