In this episode of Parenthood Unscripted, I sit down with Kimberly LaForte, voice guide, visibility coach, motivational speaker, and founder of Vocal Honey™, for a powerful conversation about reclaiming your voice, trusting yourself, and showing up fully in your life.
Kimberly shares her own journey from struggling with intense fear of public speaking to helping women step into sacred self-expression and unshakable presence. Together, we explore why so many women lose trust in their voice, how nervous system regulation impacts confidence, and practical ways to speak up, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Whether you're advocating for your child, navigating difficult conversations, building a business, or simply learning to take up space again, this episode offers encouragement and actionable tools to help you reconnect with yourself and your message.
In this episode, we discuss:
- • Why so many women disconnect from their voice and authentic self-expression• The hidden cost of people-pleasing and constantly adapting to others' expectations• How nervous system regulation impacts confidence and communication• The difference between reacting from fear and speaking from grounded self-trust• Practical strategies for speaking up during difficult conversations• Why we need to stop making our body's reactions "wrong"• Using storytelling as a tool for connection, influence, and confidence• The concept of sacred self-expression and learning to trust your inner voice• Building confidence through small, consistent acts of visibility and self-expression
