Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Sass and Soul, I dive into something I call “DVD” — double voice discourse. It’s that sneaky habit of softening, qualifying, or apologising for what you actually want to say. Those little throwaway phrases chip away at your clarity and power, and I’ll show you some simple shifts you can make to speak with way more confidence.
I share everyday examples — like kicking off with “sorry” or “I don’t know if…” — and show you how to swap them out for stronger statements like “I think,” “I am,” or “I feel.” I also chat about backing yourself by assuming people do want to hear your real voice, and the importance of lifting up other women to do the same.
This yarn is all about spotting DVD, cutting the fluff, and stepping into a bolder, more impactful way of expressing yourself.
