Who’s Holding Your Microphone? Reclaiming Your Voice + Power

Have you ever felt like you're holding back your brilliance just to keep others comfortable? Like your growth is somehow threatening to those around you?

In this powerful episode of the Becoming Unstoppable Podcast, we're diving into the subtle — and not-so-subtle — ways other people’s expectations can silence our truth. Inspired by Jamie Kern Lima’s Believe It, I share a potent metaphor that shifted everything for me: your voice is your microphone. You decide who gets to hold it, how loud they speak, and when it’s time to take it back.

This visual is a game-changer when it comes to boundaries. You don’t need to cut people off entirely to honour your path. You can simply turn down their volume. And you get to amplify the voices that lift you higher — those who truly see you and believe in your vision.

Here’s the truth: when you start reclaiming your microphone from the people who've been holding it for too long, things might get uncomfortable. You may face resistance, judgement, even rejection. But their discomfort doesn’t mean you're doing it wrong — it means you’re evolving. And their voice doesn’t carry nearly as much weight when they’re no longer speaking through your mic.

This lens also brings fresh clarity to friendships. You don't need one person to be everything. You get to choose which friends speak into your microphone depending on what you need — wisdom, warmth, fire, or truth. That’s sovereignty.

So let me ask you:
✨ Who’s holding your microphone right now?
✨ Are they the right people?
✨ Are their voices aligned with your expansion?

You become the average of the five voices you turn up the loudest. Choose intentionally. Reclaim your power. And never forget — your microphone, your dreams, your destiny — they belong in your hands.

If this message resonates, come and join us inside the Becoming Unstoppable Sisterhood — the place where you’ll be supported, seen, and reminded of who the f*** you are. Let’s amplify the real you, together.
