Have you ever considered what the comparison trap is stealing from you?     If you've ever compared yourself to others as a singer / artist and come up short in your mind, then today's episode will be the gentle nudge of tough love that you need to break free from this all-too-common creative block.     I'll be sharing with you 3 reasons to stop comparing your voice to others ~ and revealing the truth of what it's really robbing you of as an artist.     Because life is short. And the joy of creating and expressing yourself through your voice ~ as an artist, a singer, a songwriter, a performer ~ is available to you and possible for you.     But first, you must let go of the comparison, the self-doubt, the judgment, the fear ~ all the creative blocks that are keeping you from living your most creative life.  

Today, I interview Julia Miron, who grew up in a home where speaking her truth wasn't safe. As the youngest in a household filled with anger, control, and emotional chaos, she learned to stay silent to protect herself. She retreated into journaling, music, and nature—places where she didn't have to explain herself, where she could finally breathe. Her voice, however, remained hidden. Her words barely above a whisper, while the other kids laughed and played freely.Years later, when a loss made her realize that she wanted to speak, the fear of being seen and heard still held her tightly. The idea of standing in front of people terrified her. She had tried Toastmasters, but the pressure to perform only made things worse.Then someone told her about Speaking Circles. Skeptical but curious, she walked into her first session—and everything shifted. For the first time, she stood in front of others and didn't feel the need to hide. There were no judgments, no corrections, just presence. Even though she was sweating and trembling, she was allowed to simply be. She began showing up not only on the page but in her voice.Today, she is a certified mindfulness teacher and coach, supporting individuals through one-on-one sessions that blend mindfulness and Speaking Circles. She's also launching her podcast, The Messy Meditator, where she opens honest conversations about the beauty and struggle of being human. Through her work, she helps others find the safety, stillness, and self-acceptance she had searched for most of her life.__________________Julia Rebecca Miron is a mindfulness teacher and coach, qualified by Brown University as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher. Her mission is to make mindfulness accessible to more people by demystifying the idea that you need to be perfect and Buddha-like to practice it. She believes that showing up messy is better than not showing up at all.She's also a writer, and her work has been featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul. She's currently preparing to launch her podcast, The Messy Meditator, which explores mindfulness, messiness, and life.In her free time, she loves hiking, listening to R&B and hip hop, connecting with loved ones, and doting on her dog, Disco.__________________Find Julia here:https://www.instagram.com/the.messy.meditator/https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliarebeccamiron/https://www.themessymeditator.com/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today, I interview Holly MacCue, who used to walk into work feeling sick with dread, afraid she would be exposed as a fraud. Even after being recognized by her boss as a “shining star,” she couldn't shake the fear that she didn't belong. A high achiever since childhood, Holly placed enormous pressure on herself to succeed—and it eventually made her physically ill. She lost her voice to laryngitis, and with it came a wake-up call: something had to change.As a sensitive, creative child, Holly had always expressed herself through writing, but she was never the loudest in the room. She was thoughtful, disciplined, and driven. Though her parents never pushed her, she pushed herself hard. That drive followed her into adulthood, until one day, sitting at dinner with friends, she thought, “I guess I'll just be happy when I retire.” That moment cracked something open.She began redefining what success meant to her. She left corporate life, started her own business, and gradually built a life aligned with her values. The turning point deepened when her newborn daughter struggled with undiagnosed health issues. Despite being dismissed by professionals, Holly trusted her instincts and fought to be heard. That experience became a powerful lesson in using her voice for what matters.Today, Holly helps entrepreneurs do the same. Through her Magnetic Selling Method, she shows them how to speak clearly, connect deeply, and stop hiding. Her message is simple: your voice already exists—what matters is choosing how to use it.__________________Holly MacCue is a Sales and Messaging Strategist for service-based entrepreneurs, running a multi–six-figure business while raising two young children.

Today, I interview Dr. Julie Lopez, who spent much of her life perfecting a performative voice to fit in and avoid rejection. Adopted as an infant and raised without biological connections, she unconsciously shaped her identity around external approval. She excelled in academics, leadership, and later, a high-powered consulting career, yet deep inside, she felt disconnected from her true self.Despite outward success, whispers of dissatisfaction grew louder. A pivotal trip to Spain, combined with years of introspection, made her realize she had been living by survival-driven patterns rather than authentic choices. She left her prestigious career behind and pursued psychology, focusing on implicit memory—the hidden codes that shape behavior, fears, and confidence.Now, Julie helps high achievers uncover and rewire these unconscious patterns through her work and book, Live Empowered. Her journey is a powerful reminder that true confidence isn't just about speaking well—it's about speaking from a place of deep authenticity.__________________Dr Julie Lopez delights in guiding high achievers, executives and CEOs through the “unconscious advantage” so they can move aside hidden roadblocks to health, wealth and personal alignment. She is an author, speaker, entrepreneur and human systems expert, particularly versed at working with implicit memory.__________________Find Julie here:https://www.instagram.com/drjulielopez/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-julie-lopez/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textTired of pouring money into digital ads with questionable returns? Imagine commanding a room of your ideal clients for 30-45 minutes, positioning yourself as the trusted expert they need. That's the power of strategic speaking for brand building, and it's a game-changer for founders and business leaders.In this illuminating conversation with Blair Bryant Nichols, owner of BBN Creative Management, we unlock the secrets to leveraging speaking opportunities as your most potent marketing tool. Blair reveals why the traditional conference booth approach pales in comparison to securing a speaking slot, where you gain undivided audience attention and accelerate the know-like-trust curve that converts prospects into clients.One of the most surprising insights? Stop speaking at industry events dominated by your peers and competitors. Instead, identify where your ideal clients gather and position yourself as the singular expert voice in that room. "If you're in HR tech, don't just go to HR tech conferences—go to finance events and be the one HR tech speaker," Blair advises, sharing how this strategic positioning dramatically increases your stand-out factor and conversion potential.For those hesitant to step onto stage, Blair offers practical wisdom for overcoming stage fright and building your speaking platform, even without prior experience. Learn how authentic storytelling creates emotional connections that drive business relationships, and discover specific techniques to make your message memorable long after your presentation ends. From crafting compelling narratives to understanding audience psychology, this episode provides a roadmap for transforming speaking engagements into a powerful brand-building engine.Ready to amplify your voice and authority?

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week, Women's Herstories Month takes me back to my recent journey to Nairobi, Kenya where the Glocal Citizens community came through in full effect. While in Nairobi I hosted the final session in the Glocal Citizens Future of Work Solutionscape and Stretch Salon Series--stay tuned for the full podcast series coming in May, and caught up with past guests, including meeting a few for the first time.

Both Michelle and this week's guest, Vuyanzi Rodman are truly living a #borderlessmindset lifestyle. And like these women, I too now hold Kenya near to my heart.

Today, I interview Robyn Smith, who spent much of her early life feeling unheard and afraid to speak up. As a child, she was timid and quiet, often holding back her voice in class and around others. Early experiences of separation from her mother left her with a deep sense of not being fully seen or heard. At home, she had the freedom to make choices, but in the outside world, she shrank into the background, afraid of being judged.Even as she grew older, the fear of speaking up stayed with her. She taught gymnastics as a kid and later became a yoga teacher, but she still struggled to trust her voice. She believed she wasn't loud enough, and speaking in front of others felt like a challenge.Her breakthrough came when she immersed herself in deeper personal work. Through intensive training, she began to understand the patterns that held her back and found the confidence to use her voice in a new way.Now, Robyn helps women struggling with relationship challenges, guiding them to break free from old patterns and build deeper, more fulfilling connections. She teaches practical tools for communication, emotional healing, and self-worth—helping others experience love and relationships in a way that feels truly supportive and nourishing.__________________Robyn Smith is an award-winning speaker and a leading trauma, communication, and relationship coach for women.

Today, I interview Sarah Dawkins, who struggled with losing her voice after being constantly told to be quiet as a child. Her curiosity was often met with dismissal, and a negative experience in school left her feeling silenced and small. Later in life, despite her passion for teaching and helping others, the fear of public speaking deepened her internal struggle with self-expression.Sarah grew up in a strict household and found herself rebelling in her late teens as a way to reclaim her suppressed vibrancy. However, emotional wounds from her upbringing and bullying shaped her life choices, leading her to pursue a career in nursing where she could provide the care and support she had longed for.A major turning point came when Sarah began to question conventional approaches to health and healing. This exploration opened the door to self-healing and a new understanding of wellness that transformed her life.Today, Sarah helps clients reconnect with their own inner wisdom and strength. Through her book, podcast, and coaching, she guides people to take simple steps toward healing and discover the quiet voice that leads to transformation.__________________Sarah Dawkins is a highly sought-after Holistic Health and Healing Coach, Keynote Speaker, and the Author of HEAL YOURSELF.As a former Registered Nurse with over twenty years of medical experience, Sarah brings a unique, integrative perspective to her work.

Today, I interview Carla King, an author and publishing expert who overcame the struggle of being an introvert terrified of speaking publicly—even after her writing was published. Carla grew up in a unique environment shaped by her introverted, artistic mother and extroverted, mechanical father. Living in rural North Carolina, she spent much of her time reading and working on mechanical projects with her dad, finding comfort in solitude and observation. A dramatic move to Silicon Valley during her teenage years pushed her into a new world of cultural contrasts, where she began exploring her identity and finding her voice through writing and travel. A pivotal moment in Carla's journey came when she took a solo motorcycle trip through Europe, leaving behind a marriage that no longer served her. That experience not only marked her personal transformation but also inspired her first published story. Today, Carla uses her expertise and adventurous spirit to guide authors in turning their stories into books, teaching them to overcome the fear of sharing their deepest truths and connect authentically with their readers.__________________Carla King is an author and publishing expert who's passionate about guiding writers through the journey of turning their stories into polished, professional books.
