“If I told my story, I had already won.” - Stacy Ann Parish | If we have learned anything in a post-Barbie movie world, it is that women's voices are so incredibly important to listen to. And their stories need to be heard. Their experiences are not only valuable but necessary to learn, grow, and strengthen ourselves as a community. You, your voice, and your stories are just as important. But, expressing yourself and using your voice can be a very scary thing to do. I think a lot of us will be able to relate to that - especially if you identify as a woman. And maybe even more so if you are in another marginalized community or have experienced trauma yourself. I was so inspired listening to Stacy talk about overcoming her own fear of using her voice to go on and win a very intimidating women's storytelling contest. I knew her wisdom would help you too - and that is right where we will begin the interview.

Barbara started her work with the voice and vocal training because of her experience as a young girl at a time where women were expected to be nice and polite. She saw that a person's experience, trauma, and even keeping family secrets while growing up can affect and manifest through a person's voice. While also coming from a family of singers, her reclaiming of her voice, power, and healing as a person has been tangled up from her roots ever since. Trauma can affect the voice and can depend on gender, class, race, country of origin, when the trauma occurred, how you survived, and so on. For example, people who infantilize their voice or talk like they're still a child reflects a person's desire to not grow up or a call for help. Another example is how sometimes a deadness or a flatness in a voice can indicate a person's need to hide their emotions especially with therapists, chaplains, social workers, and people in the medical field. The five elements of voice include earth, which is good for being grounded, projecting authority, and accessing your gut instinct; fire is for passion, personal power, and physical vitality; water is the heart and throat, the voice of the heart or anything your heart wants to say; metal is the mask or the face and can be loud without any vocal strength which is bright, sharp, and can cut through anything; and lastly is air, sourced from the crown and is good for storytelling, telling the future, and linking to the spirit. Barbara is a voice coach, trainer, and author of “Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence” which helps train individuals who want to use their voice to its full potential whether through leadership, education, or singing. She is the founder of Morning Star Singers, a volunteer choir that sings for people facing hardship such as illness, end of life, depression, or grief.   What we discuss: 06:19 – Barbara work with the voice 12:00 – Being congruent and freeing your voice 22:29 – Trauma in the voice 31:13 – How the voice expresses trauma 40:06 – Gifts and qualities of voice 47:59 – How to breathe properly 1:01:15 – Where to find Barbara   Learn more from Barbara: Website: barbaramcafee.com   To learn more about Global Sisterhood go to www.globalsisterhood.org To join a virtual circle with us go to http://www.globalsisterhood.org/virtual-circles To follow us on Instagram @theglobalsisterhood @Lauren Elizabeth @shainaconners     Global Sisterhood Virtual Circles | Global Sisterhood Connect and nourish yourself in the sacred space of sisterhood—anywhere.

“Most people live their lives, most people go to their graves, with their music still inside them.” As a master voice coach, author, speaker, singer and songwriter, Barbara McAfee describes her work of more than 25 years as “midwiving voices across thresholds.” Whether it is an individual seeking to express his/her deepest truth, or a group looking to embrace its own power, Barbara guides them on an intimate journey to find their unique voice, sound by primal sound.  As Barbara says, “Your voice is how you get the gift inside of you out. Nothing much happens in the world until someone gives it voice.” That’s why the words “voice” and “vocation” share a common Latin root (meaning to “call, invoke or name”), she says. Her work merges lessons from 12 years in organization development with the transformative power of sound, aiming to foster awareness of unconscious vocal habits we carry that interfere with us doing our best work.  Barbara believes that the gifts uniquely expressed through our voices are not ours alone, but part of a shared destiny across humanity. So when individual voices are more fully and truthfully expressed, communities become stronger as well.  Barbara’s journey with voice began in her 20’s, when she found herself, while in a voice workshop, introduced to the full potential of her singing voice. As the range of her voice expanded, so did her life, and the stage fear that had permeated her identity up until that point as an amateur theater and musical performer gradually dissolved. Not only did Barbara feel her soul healing, it was as if the healing transcended the boundaries of time, reaching across past generations. Having experienced the healing power of a fully expressed voice, she went on to incorporate additional aspects of Jungian philosophy and yoga to develop a five-elemental approach to voice -- fire, air, metal, wood, water -- in order to help others experience the full range of their aliveness, too.  As an oral tradition song leader of many decades, Barbara uses chants and poems to open groups of people to the direct experience of mystery and wonder, as well as the power of human connection. She has witnessed how, when neither script nor leader is present, individual voices inevitably harmonize into a coherent whole. She demonstrated this in her TEDx talk where, in just under 10 minutes, Barbara catalysed the audience (numbering in the hundreds) to sing the words of the Sufi master Hafiz, discovering their innate collective wisdom.  Beyond the emergence of aliveness, Barbara also serves as a midwife to those on the edge of life. As the founder of Morning Star Singers, a volunteer hospice choir in the Twin Cities, Barbara and singers from all walks of life and professions sing songs of comfort and healing for those in the last few months, hours and minutes of their lives. Compassionately holding space for whatever is meant to unfold, Morning Star Singers offer the simple gift of presence, beauty, and meaning to those “who are often experiencing professionals and family members ‘doing things to them’.” Her book Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence is based on her 25+ years as a voice coach supporting people from many professions to find their voice, whatever that means to them. Barbara invites readers to reflect on questions such as: Are you willing to be alive? For what did we trade our raw messy human voices? What is so frightening about the possibility of authentic expression? What might be more important and interesting than your fears? The book concludes with Barbara’s original song “Brain Rats” where, with healing humor, she speaks to the common human foible of ruminating on “wicked thoughts that prove my every flaw.” Barbara has produced eight CDs of mostly original music. She lives up the street from the wild and scenic St Croix River in St Croix Falls, Wisconsin. Please join us in conversation with this midwife of voices, and accept her invitation to find and express your own.

Watch your tone… it’s advice we’ve all received at some point, most likely when we were children and saying, “I don’t want to” to a parent, or “give it back,” to a sibling. As adults we still have to watch our tone, as how we say something is as important as what we say. Tone takes on new meaning, not just the attitude, but the pitch and timbre. How can we be powerful communicators by using our words and our tone?How you convey your message is just as important as the message itself. Voice Coach Barbara McAfee teaches us how to powerfully express ourselves using our full voice.
