Many of us have a hard time expressing our feelings because of our experiences of being judged and shut down as we were growing up. You may fear upsetting a friendship, bringing tension into a comfortable setting, not fitting in, or being seen as a troublemaker. Speaking up is always a challenge, but chances are, you will feel worse about not speaking up when it really counts.
In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Dr. Joan speaks with Valeria Elliot about How to Speak Up For Yourself
Valeria Elliot better known as Ms. V The Storyteller is a Storyteller, Author, Podcast, Teacher, and Speaker. She lost her voice at the age of six and didn't get it back until she was twenty-three.
