Summary
How can we reclaim our voices in a world dominated by gatekeepers and outdated credentials? Discover why your voice matters now more than ever and how to share it with the world courageously – no outdated credentials required.
In this solo episode, I explore the societal structures that have traditionally silenced diverse voices and emphasize the profound wisdom found in self-taught knowledge and personal experience. I share my own personal journey of breaking free from the limitations of traditional credentials and trusting my intuition and lived experiences for both healing and growth. I invite you to challenge the belief that only formal education can offer valuable insights, and I advocate for a more inclusive, heart-centered approach to knowledge and healing.
“I don’t need to go get a stamp of approval from some ivory tower in order to pass along the information that your body knows how to heal itself.” -Kate Northrup
