Reclaiming Your Name, Your Voice, Your Power

There comes a moment—quiet, often unspoken—when a woman learns to pull her voice back into herself. Not because she has nothing to say, but because somewhere along the way, silence started to feel safer.

Other times, it happens slowly, so gradually you hardly notice it. You stop asking for what you need. You stop objecting when something feels wrong. You stop naming the truth that lives inside you. And it’s not because you’ve lost your voice—you haven’t. It’s because you’ve been taught, in a thousand quiet ways, that your truth is too much for the room you’re in.
