Beyond Silence: The Healing Power of Being Heard

Join me for the Soulful Speaking Playshop!

How do you transform a voice that feels discordant into one that resonates with power, clarity, and heart?

In this episode of Soulful Speaking, Lauri interviews Candis Fox, a cognitive and behavioral science expert with a deep understanding of myth and human patterning. Born into a world where their relentless curiosity was often labeled as “annoying,” Candis’ early life experiences initially stifled their voice. Candis opens up about their deeply personal journey from silence to vocal freedom. Together, Lauri and Candis discuss the complexities of bravery and vulnerability as they explore the power of presence, the importance of showing up for others, and how true connection goes beyond words.
TAKEAWAYS:

Vulnerability is Brave: Acts of bravery often feel like fear and trauma when you’re in the midst of them. Trust those closest to you who see your courage even when you don’t.
Own Your Voice: When you align your voice, heart, mind, and body you’ll ultimately draw the right people into your life and business.
Just Show Up: Simply being there for someone going through darkness or hard times is the most powerful thing you can do.
“Nos” are Powerful. Setting boundaries is key to cultivate authentic relationships based on mutual respect, not pedestal-placing.
Embrace Joy: Healing and personal growth can emerge from mischief and play.
