Finding the Strength in Your Own Voice.

“There are many voices around you, but you must listen to your own.” ― Pocahontas

Take a look around your everyday life and think about how often you listen to your voice. Do you filter what you say because your opinion is different from everyone else? Do you find yourself saying “Okay, I can’t say that because I’ll look silly or be judged.” Do you think people around you also honestly voice their thoughts or is it passed through a (conscious or unconscious) filter?

In a society where we hear and see others’ voices either offline or online, coupled with social, societal, family & cultural norms – it is easy to lose ours, and perhaps even forget our own voices. Sometimes we may feel compelled to follow everyone else and suppress our opinions because it’s different.

But what if, for a moment, you were free to express what you truly think and feel without having the fear of being contradicted? What if you could say, “Hey, I have a problem about this and I think we should talk about it” rather than leaving a problem up in the air?

Join The Busy Woman Project’s first ever event in Japan, where we will bring ourselves back to our core – visiting our personal values, beliefs and exploring how much strength and influence our voices have in empowering ourselves. Discover, Refine & Share your TRUE voice and live your life with lesser self-doubts and fears.
