I'm Speaking is every woman's guide to creating a clear, confident voice that is authentically hers and then using it fearlessly. Full of effective, efficient, brain-science-based ways to make positive changes to your voice, in your head and coming out of your mouth, I'm Speaking, also teaches the reader how to fearlessly use that voice, personally and professionally: ask for what you want and get what you need, speak up against toxicity, communicate everything better, have the difficult conversations, and cultivate resilience.

Imagine a world without the voices of Maya Angelou, Malala Yousafzai, Gloria Steinem, your mother, your best girlfriend, your midwife, your hair stylist. Do you know a woman whose voice isn't essential to her career, her family, the world? Women's voices are essential, and they are powerful. Every woman can harness that power. This is the only book written that gives women the exact tools necessary to solve the common vocal problems they face, and literally reprogram their brains and bodies to be more confident when speaking.

Think of how much more centered, how much more confident you would be knowing that you can deliver your message in a voice that makes people want to listen to you. Knowing that, regardless of situation, you can speak clearly and confidently, stay on track (or get back on), relax your body, and even enjoy the moment you've worked so hard for. Your voice is the secret weapon to success you've always had, but never knew how to use, til now.

I'm Speaking is every woman's guide to creating a clear, confident voice that is authentically hers and then using it fearlessly.
