Good Girls Are Quiet
Description
Most women don't lose their voice all at once. It happens slowly, quietly, and with the best of intentions. They soften their tone here. They hold back an opinion there. They make themselves a little smaller, a little easier, a little less. Until one day they can't quite remember what they actually sound like.
This episode is about that. Where the muting comes from, what it costs, and what it takes to find your voice at midlife.
