    Sally Prosser | Voice & Public Speaking Coach, Author, Podcast Host

    In this deeply insightful episode, Cherie sits down with voice coach, former journalist and author Sally Prosser to explore how courage lives in our voice. Sally shares the powerful story that led her to this work and the surprising link between self-expression, personal healing and the stories we tell ourselves. Together, they unpack why so many of us hold back from speaking up, how childhood patterns shape our confidence, and why developing your voice is about so much more than sounding polished. This is not a conversation about speaking perfectly. It’s about coming home to your voice and giving yourself permission to use it. You’ll hear: What it really means to “lead with courage” through voiceCommon reasons people feel blocked or disconnected from their voiceHow live radio, media training and trauma taught Sally the difference between speaking with confidence and speaking your truthTools to shift unhelpful self-talk and step into vocal presenceWhy our voice is an energetic channel, not just a tool for communicationSimple daily practices to build a more courageous voiceA behind-the-scenes look at Sally’s upcoming book VoiceprintWhether you lead meetings, host events, speak on stage, or want to feel more confident sharing your story, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, uplifted and ready to speak up with clarity and courage. 🎧 A conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like their voice didn’t matter. It does.
