Over the last 18 months I've gone from no voice, to a loud angry voice, to a confrontational voice, to a peaceful voice.
Like with most things, when we go through change, we often swing to the opposite extreme of what we once were - in my case it was quiet to loud. I thought loud was the only way to be heard.
What I've learned over the last few months is that you don't have to be the loudest one in the room to make an impact. In fact, when it comes to being truly heard, peaceful confidence wins every time.
I've learned that there's a way to use my voice intentionally that allows me to honour myself and speak authentically without sending my nervous system into overdrive.
I now feel lighter, more aligned and confident in the words I use and when I choose to speak up.
As I said from the beginning, I don't have it all figured out - I'm learning as I go. But man, am I ever glad I've landed in a place of peaceful strength. Who knew that making tshirts would have led to this kind of growth.
Proud of the journey and super grateful for where I am today. ✌️
