Mailbag: Part 1

Samara and her pod producer Cat take listener questions and talk big ideas—about how to stop people pleasing in a pandemic, how tiny choices we’ve made throughout our lives got us the voices we have now, what’s up with trying to convince others that we have authority, and a whole lot of Samara’s own juicy backstory. Host: Samara Bay Executive producers: Catherine Burt Cantin & Mark Cantin, Double Vision doublevisionprojects.com Producers: Samara Bay, Sophie Lichterman and the iHeart team Theme music: Mark Cantin Samara on IG: @samarabay Cat on IG: @catburt & @doublevisionprojects Quote: Esther 4:14 Email us at permissiontospeakpod@gmail.com – where do you need more permission?

Permission to Speak is a fun and fiery romp through how we talk and what our voice says about us with Samara Bay, speech coach to the stars and public speaking adviser back when there was a public to speak in. Each week she interviews people who specialize in how we use our voice and people in the public eye who are USING it—what it took to find their voice, when it still wavers, the crap comments they’ve gotten for being too loud or too soft or too millennial or too anything because PEOPLE HAVE OPINIONS, and how to give ourselves permission to speak like we belong in rooms of power just as we are. Let’s destabilize the patriarchy together! Let’s talk about deep AF societal dysfunction and how it plays out on our bodies and voices, but, like, have fun doing it! Hi. This is for you.
