Who made you feel that it was unsafe to use your voice? What happened to you that made you realise it was safer to shut up and play dumb than it was to speak your truth?
This goes deep. Even now before I hit send on something I know will make some people uncomfortable I feel a wave of fear. Of women turning on me, badmouthing me, punishing me with their words. It's trauma held in our bodies from lifetimes ago.
We need to remember that we are safe. Any vows of silence you have made in a past life you can relinquish now. Say it aloud. "I end any vows of silence I have made in any other life. It is safe for me to use my voice."
Your unique, precious voice is like a muscle. Once you start using it, it will become easier and easier to say what you are thinking and feeling. And you will be surprised about who was waiting for you to do just that and make them feel they can use their voice, too.
Women, we need to give up this idea we have to agree on everything. You can disagree with a woman without writing her off completely. This is how we allow ourselves to come into our complex, beautiful natures. It is a very clever trap that we have fallen into that keeps us separate and powerless.
How can you use your voice today?
