[03:30] She has been featured in various media outlets and holds advanced certifications in neuroscience, neurobiology, trauma, and stress resilience. [04:02]
Key PointsThe nervous system is constantly interpreting experiences as safe or unsafe, and this shapes our behaviors and coping mechanisms.
Trauma is not limited to major events, but can also stem from seemingly minor experiences that the nervous system perceives as unsafe. [20:36]
Food can become a "drug of adaptation" - a coping mechanism that the nervous system learns to turn to when experiencing negative emotions or feeling unsafe.
Overcoming these patterns requires addressing the underlying nervous system regulation, rather than just focusing on surface-level behaviors like calorie restriction. [36:58]
Notable Quotes"Anything can become traumatic to the system if it is repeated or if the emotion is large enough, anything can become to the system." (20:53)

"We fixed all of that through where you first started this, which is safety first, we have to safety to the nervous system, and then it will allow us to change all of our patterns." (38:30) [17:45]
Detailed InsightsMain ArgumentsThe nervous system is the driving force behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, particularly in response to perceived safety or danger. [16:31] (09:10, 10:47)
Trauma is not limited to major events, but can stem from seemingly minor experiences that the nervous system interprets as unsafe. [20:26] (20:53)
Overcoming patterns like emotional eating or weight struggles requires addressing the underlying nervous system regulation, rather than just focusing on surface-level behaviors. (37:19, 38:30)
Supporting EvidenceThe guest provides examples of how the nervous system learns patterns from early childhood experiences, such as a mother's tone of voice or body language. (20:53)
The guest explains how food can become a "drug of adaptation" - a coping mechanism that the nervous system learns to turn to when experiencing negative emotions or feeling unsafe. [35:20] (34:03)

The concept of trauma and how it is not limited to major events (20:53) [15:13]

Follow-Up Questions:How can individuals begin to recognize and address the patterns and cues in their own nervous system that may be contributing to unhealthy behaviors or self-sabotage? [13:48]

General OverviewInterview Summary: This is not an interview transcript, but rather a monologue from a voice expert named Tracy Goodwin. [00:42] She discusses the concept of authenticity as the "highest vibration" or frequency of sound, and how this relates to the nuances and layers of vocal expression. [10:20] She emphasizes the importance of aligning one's true feelings and emotions with one's vocal delivery in order to be truly authentic and impactful.
Key PointsAuthenticity is not just about "being authentic" - it is a multilayered and nuanced concept that involves aligning one's true feelings and emotions with one's vocal delivery. [10:20]
Tracy Goodwin has the ability to identify the subtle layers and shades of emotion in a person's voice, and can help them become more aligned and authentic. [00:49]
The "Spain scale of emotion" study is often misinterpreted, as it does not actually state that authenticity is the highest vibration of sound. [07:30] However, Tracy believes authenticity can be a higher vibration than love when one's vocal expression is truly aligned. [10:20]
Inauthenticity and vocal "masks" often arise from psychological factors and societal pressures that prevent people from fully expressing their true feelings. [13:10]
Revealing the full range of one's emotions and feelings through vocal expression is key to being truly authentic and impactful. [20:26]
Notable Quotes"Authenticity, the most powerful vibration, the most powerful frequency of sound there is, but we can't just leave it as just be authentic. It's multi multilayered. It's nuanced beyond anything you could ever imagine and I can hear every tiny fragment of sound that tells me the truth of who you are."
"True alignment is I am revealing to you exactly how I feel and I'm playing all the notes and all the shades of all the different feelings. [11:58] That's true alignment." [12:14]
"There are so many shades of you and the feelings that you experience, and none of them are being played, none of them, and that is what I call missed prime real estate." [19:36]
Kicker Quotes"This is why when people say to me, I'm going to make more money and then I'm going to come back and work with you, it frustrates me because this would make you more money. What do you want to establish in the marketplace, at the job, in the relationship as the truth of who you are because it's playing out everywhere?" [20:26]
Detailed InsightsMain Arguments: Tracy Goodwin argues that true authenticity goes beyond simply "being authentic" and involves aligning one's vocal expression with the full range of one's feelings and emotions. [00:01] She believes that this level of authenticity can be a higher vibration than even love. [10:20]
Supporting Evidence: Tracy cites her own ability to identify the subtle layers of emotion in a person's voice, as well as her experience working with clients to help them become more aligned and authentic. [00:49] She also references the "Spain scale of emotion" study, though she notes that it does not actually state that authenticity is the highest vibration. [07:30]
Themes and TrendsRecurring Themes: The importance of authenticity, the nuances and layers of vocal expression, the psychological and societal factors that prevent people from being fully authentic. [03:36]
Emerging Trends: The growing interest in and discussion around the concept of authenticity as the "highest vibration" of sound, though Tracy cautions that this is often misunderstood. [10:20]

General OverviewConversation Summary: The speaker discusses the difference between "reps" and "practice" when it comes to improving one's speaking and presentation skills. [22:27] She argues that practice, where one repeatedly rehearses and drills content, can actually be detrimental and lead to being disconnected from the material. [25:49] Instead, she advocates for a "reps" approach, where one integrates the desired speaking techniques and tactics into their daily routine and conversations. [23:38] This allows the skills to become more naturally integrated and accessible.
Interviewee Background: The speaker is Tracy Goodwin, an internationally known voice expert and award-winning speaker who has taught hundreds of people around the world to improve their speaking and presentation skills. [29:25]
Key PointsThe speaker is not a fan of traditional "practice" where one repeatedly rehearses content, as this can lead to being disconnected from the material and put the speaker in "retrieval mode" when delivering. [22:27]
Instead, she advocates for a "reps" approach, where one integrates the desired speaking techniques and tactics into their daily routine and conversations. [23:38]
Reps help the skills become more naturally integrated and accessible, rather than feeling like a separate "practice" activity. [23:37]
The speaker believes that warming up before a big presentation is also not necessary if one has properly integrated the desired speaking skills through reps. [10:01]
She suggests that each person has an optimal number of "practice" reps, often around 2-4, beyond which additional practice can be counterproductive. [14:57]
Notable Quotes"I believe warm ups the same when these big names have walked up to me wanting to know about working with me, wanting to know information. [08:57] It doesn't even have to be big names. It could be anybody. Anybody blindside me? What comes out of warming up? [10:35] Why would I not want that in my muscle memory all the time?" (13:15)
"I want you to stop telling yourself you have to practice. [26:29] I believe warm ups the same when these big names have walked up to me wanting to know about working with me, wanting to know information. [08:57] It doesn't even have to be big names. It could be anybody. Anybody blindside me? What comes out of warming up? [10:35] Why would I not want that in my muscle memory all the time?" (13:15)
Kicker Quotes"I want my people to speak from the internal and be observers of the external." (28:44)
Detailed InsightsMain Arguments:
Practice can lock in bad speaking habits and put the speaker in "retrieval mode" when delivering (13:15)
Reps, where one integrates techniques into daily conversations, is a better approach than traditional practice (23:37) [23:37]
Warming up before a big presentation is not necessary if one has properly integrated the desired speaking skills through reps (13:15) [10:01]
Supporting Evidence:
The speaker's own experience with her TED talk, where she exceeded her optimal "practice number" of 2-3 reps (14:12) [14:57]
A case study of a student who only practiced her talk 2-3 times and delivered an outstanding performance (19:50) [14:57]
Themes and TrendsRecurring Themes:
The importance of integrating speaking techniques into one's daily life through "reps" rather than isolated practice (throughout)
The limitations of traditional practice and warming up approaches (13:15, 14:12) [10:39]
Emerging Trends:
The concept of an optimal "practice number" unique to each individual, often around 2-4 reps (19:50) [14:57]
The idea of speaking from an "internal" place rather than relying on external cues (28:44)
Interview DynamicsInterview Flow:
The speaker starts by introducing the topic of "reps vs. [23:37] practice" and then goes into a detailed explanation of her perspective, using examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate her points. The flow is clear and logical, with the speaker building her case methodically.
Question Analysis:
The speaker appears to be responding to a previous question or request from a client to discuss the difference between reps and practice. [23:37] She does an effective job of thoroughly addressing the topic and providing a clear framework for understanding her approach.
Context and BackgroundContextual Information:
The speaker is a voice expert and presentation coach who has worked with many clients to improve their speaking and presentation skills. She is drawing on her extensive experience and research in this area.
Related Events:
The speaker references her TED talk experience as an example of when she did engage in more traditional "practice", but notes that this was an exception due to the specific requirements of that event. [14:55]
Potential Impact:
If listeners adopt the speaker's "reps" approach, it could help them become more naturally comfortable and confident in their speaking, without the potential pitfalls of over-rehearsing. [23:37] This could lead to more authentic and impactful presentations and conversations.
Follow-Up Questions:Can you provide more specific examples of how one can integrate "reps" into their daily routine and conversations? [23:38]
How does one determine their optimal "practice number" for a given presentation or speaking scenario? [15:14]
What are the key internal shifts or mindset changes that you believe are necessary to truly speak from an "internal" place rather than relying on external cues? [08:43]
How can one overcome the tendency to want to over-rehearse and practice, especially for important speaking engagements?

General OverviewInterview Summary: This interview discusses Luisa Bergholz's work as a psychologist and coach helping women find their true purpose and passion in their careers.

Luisa helps her clients rediscover their authentic selves and what they are truly passionate about, even if it means creating a completely new career path. [02:57]
A major obstacle is the fear of the unknown and the perceived financial/stability risks of changing careers.
Luisa emphasizes the importance of dreaming big and not limiting oneself to the "normal" options. [30:37]
Notable Quotes"We have so many things we could do, and there are so many studies in psychology that too much choice creates overwhelm, and then we just freeze and cannot decide because we are so afraid to take the wrong choice." [17:26]
"I think everybody knows what they really want to do. [21:04] It's just hidden. There are so many layers on it, all the expectations that people have on them."
"When we change something, our subconscious does not want that. [28:07] And this is something unknown. And whenever we tap into the unknown, our subconscious is fighting against it and bringing up all of the reasons why we should not do this."
Kicker Quotes"We often need those role models to see what is possible for us. [30:37] And this is a big part of my work that I show people there is so much more than you even thought of. [29:53] And sometimes it means really inventing your own job that you never heard of before." [30:11]
"I always say, yeah, but it's definitely better to figure out what you want to do when you are in this comfort zone and when everything is feeling good for you, so you don't have to worry about the roof over your head and really dive into what you could do and then do it strategically to prepare the next step."

Interview Summary: The transcript appears to be a recording of a podcast episode hosted by Tracy Goodwin, an expert on voice and communication. [00:41] The main topic discussed is the challenge that entrepreneurs and business owners face in being authentic and connecting with potential clients before they have made a sale or joined a program. [04:33] The host discusses how the internal psychology and "voice masks" that people use to protect themselves can lead to inauthentic and off-putting communication that repels potential clients, even though the person may be able to connect better once the client has already made a purchase. [12:11]
Interviewee Background: This is not an interview transcript, but rather a solo podcast episode hosted by Tracy Goodwin, who is described as an internationally known voice expert, award-winning speaker, and someone who has taught hundreds of people around the world to make a bigger impact with their voice. [00:41]
Key PointsEntrepreneurs and business owners often struggle to be authentic and connect with potential clients before they have made a sale or joined a program, even though they are able to connect better once the client is already in the program. [04:33]
This is due to the "voice masks" and internal psychology that people use to protect themselves, which can lead to inauthentic and off-putting communication that repels potential clients. [12:11]
The host believes that at least 30% of potential sales are lost due to this issue, as potential clients are turned off by the inauthentic communication before they make a purchase. [11:56]
The solution lies in doing the internal work to "unearth, unmask, and unleash" the authentic voice, which requires addressing the underlying wounds, fears, and stories that are driving the inauthentic communication. [15:51]
Notable Quotes"I think a lot of times people think about voice. [03:26] Well, I'm not a podcaster. Well, I'm not a speaker. Well, I don't sell anything. Your relationships will dramatically improve when you rewrite the psychology of your voice." (02:00) [03:45]
"If people won't listen to you, you won't get to share your message." (02:30) [15:29]
"We have to do the psychology of the voice triangle, unearth, unmask, unleash. [13:25] And in that unleashing process, that's where all the real sounds of you are. [13:27] They can't get through right now because they've got six layers on top holding them down in an effort to protect you." (12:30)
Kicker Quotes"Now more than ever, the data shows me that your buyer must connect with you within seconds. [15:51] They must know who you are. How are they going to know who you are or the revelation of the sounds that are buried in layer seven?" (15:30) [13:41]
"This is the work that we do. This is the work that we do in psychology of the voice. We unearth, we unmask, we unleash. And I encourage you, if you are feeling like, well, I'm great when I get 'em in the offer, when I get 'em in the program or when they buy, but before then it's hard. [04:35] It's not really me. It just doesn't work. It doesn't click. It's so much effort. I know I'm pretending. I know I'm faking. Then we need to fix that because it is hurting your sales, it is hurting your connection, and it's not going to just go away." (16:30) [11:56]

The need to do the internal work to "unearth, unmask, and unleash" the authentic voice (12:30, 16:30) [15:51]
Emerging Trends:

Today, I've got a former student and powerhouse of a woman with me. Unyime Oguta is here today and we are talking all about permission slips, leadership and why it's hard for women to fully step into their power.
You certainly don't have to be a woman to get a ton from this episode but no doubt, Unyime and I discuss the social implications around women's voices and how we as female leaders stand in our power and authority.
This was a unique and thoughtful episode that I know you are going to love. Unyime and I go deep on questions and answers that matter when it comes to propelling our lives forward and serving our purpose well.
BIO:Unyime is a firm believer that having it all is simply a by-product of the woman you become through daily empowered decisions. By blending her background in project management, health, and leadership, with mindset and somatic coaching, she guides clients to reclaim their voice and power, while thriving and leading fulfilled lives.Life coaching with Unyime is deeply transformative, with results that create a ripple effect of thriving, fulfillment, and legacy. Her personal journey from burnout to thriving, coupled with her professional background, has equipped Unyime with the unique ability to guide women through their own transformations that break generational cycles of seeking worthiness through achievement, and foster a legacy of empowerment, satisfaction, and impactful living.

Welcome to the show.
The work I do is not about adding technique, it's about healing wounds that have created masks of sounds that are costing you.
Masks are sounds, masks come from stories, stories come from wounds.
It's the sounds that are ultimately costing you but in order to truly eradicate them and find your authentic voice we have to go to the why behind the why behind the why...that's where we find the wound.
That's what I'm talking about today, this is the work!

Welcome to the show!
Today I'm doing a micro voice audit with Ashley M. I love this conversation because this is so common for so many of my students.
I think I sound like X or I want to sound like X but I sound like Y.
This is huge and the VERY reason you can't just go think your way through changing your Psychology of the Voice.
This is the deep work.
The really deep work and it's important work.
Now more than ever because your ideal clients are seeking sounds, they are seeking connection and authenticity, they are seeking you.
Would you be interested in a 20-minute micro voice audit to find out how you are being processed in the subconscious of your listener? Just send over an email to [email protected]

Welcome to the show!
Today's consumer is seeking real connection and authenticity in an AI world. What I find is, people understand the concept of connection and authenticity but often don't know how to dish it up or that it actually happens in their voice...or not.
In today's episode I'll be addressing the why behind the critical need to connect and reveal your authentic voice. Stay tuned, I'll do a part two to tell you much more about the how.
Join me live on June 12th at 1pm EDT for my next free masterclass.

Welcome to the show!
You've done the work, and it's been hard and you have moved your life forward and here I come telling you I can hear a wound. It's infuriating for many of my client's. But, here's what I want you to know...you can do the work, that's clear to me but the wound healed or unhealed MUST be moved out of your voice as well.
In Psychology of the Voice, I look at the internal and the external, they are connected and both must be dealt with. In today's episode I'm working with Mica on the healed wounds that are still in her voice.
If you want to make a bigger impact with your message and move the wounds out of your voice, then join me for the upcoming Voice Experience https://www.captivatetheroom.com/experience

Welcome to the show!
Today you are in for quite a treat as I've got something totally different for you. In today's episode I'm doing some live coaching with Rosalyn Rourke on her audio book.
Audio book sales are a huge part of the overall revenue when it comes to selling book but having a voice that makes people want to listen is critical.
The number of times I've heard from people that they could not listen to the audiobook of a book they longed to hear but they just couldn't because of the reader's voice.
When I coach someone in putting a book on audio it is the same methodology, Psychology of the Voice.
If a reader performs, or has no inflection people won't be able to connect or listen.
If a reader is over or under done, the audience won't be able to stay with them. There are a million nuances I find in a voice but especially in doing work like I'm doing today with Rosalyn.
I know you are going to love this episode!

You aren’t a people pleaser? You'll still learn a ton in this week’s episode including what sounds are working against you when it comes to connecting with your buyer, how they are processing you, and the experience you will create for them... plus so much more.
If you are a people pleaser, listen up… there are sounds that are coming out of your voice that are costing you revenue.
A number of specific sounds I hear in people pleaser’s voice actually tell the buyer not to buy.
If you are the expert, why are you asking my permission? You aren’t… well, there is a sound in your voice that lilt’s up at the end of your sentences and that makes me think you are asking me.
Bothering people? Is that a concern of yours? Well, it’s in your voice.
What people don’t realize is that selling is not just about the words, the offer, it’s about the connection, the feeling, the experience and ALL of that happens in the voice.
In this week’s episode of the Captivate the Room podcast, I’ll be breaking down how the people pleasing mask hurts your sales.
