Find Your Voice
by Tabby Biddle
I used to feel that my voice didn't matter. I grew up as the youngest child and only girl in a family of two brothers, and a very strong lineage of male leaders going back to the earliest days of the United States. While there is a lot to be proud of in my family history, there is something very obvious that is missing. The voices of women.
Like many girls and young women growing up in a patriarchal culture, I embodied a "less than" attitude and stance in the world as I grew up. While I was a leader in many regards through my sports teams, social groups, and academic strengths – there was still a shadow I was living under that, for a long time, I could not name.
Today, women’s knowledge, wisdom and opinions are woefully underrepresented around the world. In every country and in every industry, women are undervalued, underpaid and often completely missing from positions of power and authority.
This is a problem for us personally and for the world at large.
On a personal level, we suffer emotionally and spiritually as we are forced to mute our truth, and we suffer physically as the absence of our voices translates into laws, public policy and resource distribution that don’t accurately reflect our needs and the needs of our children.
Without women’s wisdom at the table, war, poverty and violence are the name of the game. Aggression, competition, and power over, rather than power with, are the norm.
But we, as women, know that this is not a natural way of living.
My book, Find Your Voice, will help you find the courage and build the confidence to take a stand for what you believe in, without apology. It is an essential guide for women who are ready to claim their power, connect with their purpose, and offer their unique message and leadership to the world. The book is an education, an inspiration, and an urgent call to action. Find Your Voice brings to light the dark patches of our culture where women's voices are still silent and aims to make a change agent out of every reader.
Your inner voice is trying to speak to you. Can you hear Her?
When you embark on the path of finding or rediscovering your voice, you will find a well of wisdom probably way beyond what you could have ever imagined. You will start to feel more alive, driven, motivated, excited, passionate, invigorated, creative, decisive and on purpose. And maybe most delightfully, you will get to touch and taste the immense power of you.
The moment you stop believing that others have more valuable opinions than you, and that your voice doesn’t matter, everything changes.
I invite you onto the journey.
