What does it really mean to have a voice? In this short, introductory premiere episode, I introduce Voicecast—a podcast born from years of working with voice in its many forms. I also introduce my very first guest who will appear in the next episode.

As an executive coach, I help people find authentic expression and hone their listening to others in the workplaces where they spend so much of their lives.

As a classical singer and vocal rehabilitation specialist, I've witnessed first hand how vocal challenges often reveal complex stories beyond mere physical symptoms.
Voice connects to everything—our identity, our relationships, how we listen and how we are heard, whether in board meetings or family gatherings. I share how our vocal development is shaped by our upbringing, family background and most of all our confidence. Our early experiences profoundly influence how we express ourselves throughout life. Finding our own voice matters deeply, but I am just as interested in the power of listening, truly listening, to make sure that everybody can find the space for their voice to land.
The episode offers a glimpse into upcoming conversations, beginning with former prison governor Susie Richardson. After experiencing nerve damage affecting her own voice, Susie brings unique insight to her advocacy work for those without a voice—people who've experienced the care system, addiction, or interrupted childhoods. Her story exemplifies how voice transcends physical sound to become presence, identity, and the power to create change.

Whether you're working on leadership skills, wanting to speak with more confidence at work, recovering from a vocal setback, or wanting to move through the world with more presence and confidence, Voicecast invites you to explore what having a voice really means.

Vocal Health Disclaimer: I am trained and qualified in vocal rehabilitation for professional voice-users, or people who need to enhance their speaking or singing capabilities, helping them to use their voice more efficiently after injury or vocal compromise. I have a clear scope of practice. I am not a clinical practitioner, and I am not a speech and language pathologist or therapist. I work offering further support to individuals who have already had diagnosis and input from clinicians, or who are waiting for that support, helping them to use their voice well, and encouraging and educating them about good vocal health and hygiene. Most of all I listen and hold a space for the whole picture of the person in front of me, so that they really feel heard and understood, and can move forwards.
