Unmute Your Soul is a courageous, inspiring and effective call for all women to witness and fully express their authenticity. Defy society’s unspoken silencing of our truth. Pay attention to all aspects of communication, both verbal and nonverbal and let your voice be heard. We stand on the shoulders of women who’ve fought hard to create avenues of discourse. By reading Unmute Your Soul, today’s generation of women will more easily take the call, and more boldly and completely, speak our minds.

Introduction

In times gone by, multitudes of women have been silent, consciously and unconsciously.

I always wanted my voice to matter, yet there was an underlying feeling that it didn’t. I grew up sandwiched between two brothers. Over the course of my life, I was in an environment where males were dominant in numbers. In part, they were leaders in their own roles, and the voices of women seemed to be missing.

Being under the shadow of this male energy, while no one was openly putting women down within my immediate family—as far as I could perceive—there was a subtle feeling of betterness that the male partly owned. So, like many of the girls and women I was with, I automatically embodied an attitude of living in a shadow I couldn’t put my finger on.

Silence was the knot in my throat I have known since childhood. My withheld tears were swallowed back down. A big lid pressed down on my anger. Silence had no words, yet it fought to find them in my head, even when I chose to keep my mouth tightly zipped rather than speak my truth. Silence held me captive in a corset and compressed my breath, keeping me safe, acceptable, small and convenient, when my lungs wanted to explode into screams of truth.

Silence robbed me of moments of joy, love, and connection. It has been an invisible cloak when disappearing felt easier than the risk of being seen in all my greatness. I thought I was imperfect, undeserving, ashamed and broken.

Growing up, I had unspoken contracts, which didn’t allow me to offend anyone. I was taught to bypass painful topics and avoid potential conflict to keep the peace. To become my full self, I had to break them and go off to forge my own path.

We are all wired for transformation. We were born into our greatness. The soul is space and immensity. The one thing it needs is to be free to expand, as it has contracted over the years. Why is it so difficult to change?

A part of us is inspired to break free, and a part of us is connected to the status quo. We find ourselves in a comfort zone full of tension, which keeps us small and silent. These are gremlins from the past. Our female ancestors were robbed of their voices before us. Their cries have been inserted into our bones and our blood.

It costs us tremendous effort and a lot of energy to suppress and hold ourselves back, as opposed to expressing who we are and being a unique light in the world. That takes no effort whatsoever.

I want you to put yourself out there with your voice, your talents, and your whole being. I want your amazing self to become visible. There has never been a better time for this. Never has it been so needed in our history. This is our job—to express what our souls came here for. Through this expression, we can experience deep joy and happiness because it’s through our self-expression that the feeling of being whole is palpable.

To fully embody that, we must have the courage and vulnerability to look at what holds us back. When transformation knocks at our door, the old raises its ugly head. It may mean consciously leaning into places that scare us and gently holding ourselves there with tenderness and compassion whilst finding the root cause of it.

This isn’t a process that happens outside of you. Before your soul becomes unmuted, it takes inner work. We need to unlearn many things. We need to take off the masks we have donned. As we mother the orphaned parts within ourselves, we rise to embody all of ourselves, accessing our inner power in all its mystery and complexity. As each woman uplevels during this process, the feminine in her becomes more whole, visible and luminous.

When we don’t allow our soul purpose to be expressed through us, we shrink, shrivel and keep ourselves small. We feel discontentment, suffocated, false, imprisoned, angry, disappointed, and that our life is being wasted, yet there is always the underlying feeling that something meaningful wants to rise and be expressed through our being. Whether you’re a speaker, an actress, a writer, an artist, in politics, or ‘just’ a woman expressing your voice, it is important for a fulfilled life. Not only that, when we’re able to be ourselves and share our purpose, we have the power to awaken, energize, and move other people to do the same.

We don’t just need women’s voices. We need women who are connected to their inner wisdom and guidance, to their heart and soul. These are women who can carry feminine values and qualities into our world.

I’m a female alchemist and an author. I’ve been working with women for over twenty-five years, supporting global woman leaders to activate their intuition, align with their soul purpose, and express the vision of their soul so they can make the impact in the world that they came here for. I have been in many seminars and have had intensive work done on myself over this time. I’ve noticed, with my friends and my clients, that speaking up for themselves in work and in private is still a real issue. With the work I share here, I found my own voice. I am extremely happy to support you in finding yours too.

Your ever-unfolding path of life will be different from mine in many ways. I believe women share many important issues that hold us back. We all have the power to re-write our old stories and finish with outdated patterns. This is a path of self-mastery and self-leadership—the essential first steps all leaders need to take.

In my book, I share with you what I’ve learned from my own journey. I wrote this as an offering to help you break through to the real you—the you who wants to express herself in all the beauty of her soul—because the world needs and wants to see the real you, who is here with something amazing to express. For some of us, it’s as easy as pushing a button. For others, it would be amazing if it was as easy as this.

Having picked up this book, you have a longing to express your deep truth. You suspect that within the woman you are, more power and assertiveness slumbers, waiting to be awakened. You want to step more fully into the power of your expression. You would like to be more connected to your feminine truth. And your whole life has been leading up to this.

This is my invitation for you to embrace the learning and the resistance, to allow your wild female soul to express itself through your heart, your voice, and your being. It’s for women who are tired of hiding themselves, playing small and keeping their beautiful, unique self silent.

This is for you if you’ve been holding back and staying silent instead of speaking about what needs to be said. When you learn to speak from your truth, never again will you feel that familiar constriction in your throat, as if you are choking on your greatest gift.

It is for you, whose soul has something to express, something which possibly transcends culture and creed and accesses individual wisdom. You, who would like to present yourself in your core energy and allow your soul—your deep essence—to be present, to speak automatically, and to be understood and intrinsically felt.

It is for you if you’ve felt some resistance to speaking up. Maybe you have problems finding the right words and speaking up in a relationship. Or you may have felt worried that if you do speak up, people will judge you, laugh at you, misunderstand you, or even attack you.

It’s for you if you’re tired of being ignored. Maybe you have an idea you really want to share with the world. Or perhaps you have a book to write and can’t seem to put it into words.

These experiences are very normal for women.

Now is the time for women’s voices to be heard—for women to speak their truth, bring awareness to important issues, and empower one another with their stories. You can become a confident woman who expresses herself easily and wants to share her voice. Magic happens when we are fully present in our body, magnetic, and alive in the moment. Even though I believe that it is extremely important for women to listen inside and be silent at times—and I know that femininity can be non-verbal—the more each woman frees her voice, the more we will be giving other women permission to do the same. The more
