Finding Your Voice After Narcissistic Abuse: With Public Speaking Expert Natasha Cruz
Description
SUMMARY
In this powerful episode, Shar sits down with her dear friend, communication strategist and public speaking coach Natasha Cruz, to discuss the journey of reclaiming your voice after it has been silenced by narcissistic abuse. Natasha shares her personal story of overcoming the fear of public speaking and how she discovered that our voice is more than just sound—it's a carrier of our inner confidence and authority. They explore the signs of a lost voice, the paralyzing power of regret, and why "running towards your Goliath" is the key to stepping into your calling.
