    116: Soft Voice, Big Power: Owning Your Voice with Vocal Honey’s Kimberly Lafort

    You can be very visible and still feel completely unseen. In this episode of Simply Own It, I’m joined by voice guide and visibility coach Kimberly Laforte, creator of Vocal Honey. We go deep into what it really means to take up space with your voice — not just on a stage or a podcast, but at your kitchen table, in your relationships, and in your calendar. Kimberly shares her story of running an award-winning yoga studio while secretly relying on beta blockers just to speak, navigating a marriage where her spiritual self didn’t feel safe, and rebuilding her life (and last name) from the inside out. We talk about the moment she received the vision that became Vocal Honey, and how she shifted from chasing big stages to treating everyday conversations as the most important stage of all. Inside this episode, we explore: The difference between power over and power within—and how it changes who you attract Why silence, pauses, and “not answering yet” can be wildly powerful How scarcity sneaks out of your mouth as filler words like “um, so, like” What it really looks like to say no from self-trust instead of guilt Why your “soft” or “gentle” voice might actually be your greatest advantage How healing your relationship with your voice shifts your relationships, business, and legacy If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head, hated how you sounded, or told yourself you’re “not ready” to be more visible… this one will hit home in the most validating way. 🎧 Tune in, then check the show notes to connect with Kimberly, explore Vocal Honey, and see how we can work together if you’re ready to build a life and business that actually sound like you.

    114. Everyone Believes in You… Except You.

    You can have a partner who says, “You’d crush it.”Friends who swear you’re wildly talented.A boss who calls you irreplaceable. And still lie awake on Sunday night thinking,“Yeah… but what if I’m not actually that capable?” In this episode of Simply Own It, I’m sharing the Sunday night that changed everything for me — the night my husband stopped reassuring me and said, “This is the last time we’re having this conversation.” Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: No amount of validation will ever make up for the lack of belief you have in yourself. We’re talking about: Why encouragement only works for about twelve minutes How asking “Do you really think I can?” can secretly be avoidance The identity shift that has to happen before you leave the job, grow the business, or go all in And the story of my client who went from crying in the parking lot before work… to winning the most prestigious award in her industry and landing the biggest contract of her career If you’ve been collecting praise but still playing small…If you’re secretly waiting for one more person to tell you it’s safe…If you keep brushing off compliments with “They’re just being nice”… This episode will feel personal. Validation feels good.Belief changes behavior. And behavior? That’s what builds the life you keep asking everyone else if you’re allowed to have.
