This month on The Sow to Speak Podcast, we’re bringing your voice back to where it actually lives—your body. If you’ve ever found yourself scrambling for the right words, blanking in a big moment, or walking away from a meeting thinking “That just wasn’t me”—this series is for you.
Embodied communication isn’t fluff. It’s what helps your voice come through as clear, grounded, and real—especially in high-stakes moments. Over the next few weeks, I’m sharing simple, practical, science-backed practices that reconnect you to your body and regulate your nervous system so your voice doesn’t just sound strong—it feels like you.
When you feel more at home in your body, you show up in ways you're proud of. You stop performing and start connecting—and the more you practice, the more natural it becomes.
In this episode, we’ll explore why trying to “nail the words” often backfires—and what to do instead.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
Why clarity starts in your body, not your brain
The #1 thing most high-achievers do that unintentionally sabotages their voice (and what to try instead)
A simple, 3-step body check that takes less than 30 seconds but makes a powerful shift in how you speak
What your voice is trying to tell you when it “feels off”
One grounding practice to try before your next meeting or high-stakes conversation
Plus: a powerful reframe for leaders who are tired of performing and ready to actually connect.
Your Turn:
Where in your body do you notice yourself holding back when you speak?
What might shift if that part of you softened—even just a little?
