Creating Positive Change Through Your Authentic Voice with Halina St. James

As an entrepreneur, Halina St. James teaches others how to step into the power of their voice. She believes you have the power to make a difference in your life and the lives of others if you trust and believe in yourself. That power is quite simply your voice… your ability to communicate.

When she’s not speaking and telling stories, you’ll find her gardening, ballroom dancing, or eating chocolate.

Halina is such a vibrant woman and has grown to be an amazing friend of mine. She has personally encouraged and mentored me in expressing my authentic voice when I was very resistant to speaking up.

In this episode, we talk about:
⁘ Creating an authentic identity apart from your work title
⁘ Empathy as a way to understanding others
⁘ Lessons from Halina’s spiritual teachers
⁘ The power of silence in a culture of busyness
⁘ Moving into the age of Aquarius
⁘ The perennial problem of work life balance
⁘ A tap on the shoulder from the universe in the form of a stroke
⁘ Pivoting her business instead of throwing in the towel
⁘ How stories create change in our world
⁘ The power of speaking your truth and releasing your authentic voice
⁘ Meditation, intentions and gratitude as a path towards spiritual growth
⁘ And so much more!

Books Halina references during our conversation:
Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

How Trust Changed Everything for Me

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone for my first solo episode.

When I felt called to get more vulnerable on my podcast, I made a bargain- I would record the episode, but I wasn’t sure if I would hit publish. Here I am, publishing the episode that made me feel like I had to lean a bit more into my fear, because I am choosing to trust. To trust that there is a reason that my vulnerability needs to be put out into the world. To trust that someone needs to hear my words. To trust that my insecurity of being judged has nothing to do with me, because the words I need to speak have a greater purpose than my fears.

In this episode, I talk about:
⁘ Why your work doesn’t define who you are
⁘ Embracing and developing my intuition
⁘ How I feel I am viewed from the outside
⁘ Geeking out some of my favourite things like fantasy fiction and historical romance
⁘ Correlations between my current life interests and my past lives
⁘ Exploring what it means to be an empath
⁘ Developing pyschic and mediumship abilities
⁘ My journey with anxiety
⁘ How nurturing my relationship with Spirit began healing my anxiety
⁘ Breaking away from the expectations of others
⁘ And so much more!

Releasing fear about using your voice

I am quickly learning that the biggest barrier to entry into podcasting is not something new to me or my fellow entrepreneurs… fear.

Fears like… If I put myself out there and speak my truth, what if others don’t like it? What if I am judged? What will I say that hasn’t been said before? What I have to say doesn’t matter. My voice isn’t important. I am not allowed to talk about the things I want to. ⠀

There are so many stories that we tell ourselves that are just not true.⠀

If you are getting just the smallest nudge to put your voice out there, I encourage you to step into those fears. These small steps have personally helped me lean into discomfort and find empowerment:⠀

1. Send more voice messages. Step out of the comfort of typing and start using your voice. You will be amazed to see how quickly you can form meaningful connections with others by swapping out text for your voice!⠀

2. Exercise those vocal cords. Sing aloud in the shower, sit in your car and scream… just get that energy flowing!⠀

3. Massage. Gentle massage from your neck to your chest, and back up again. My personal favourite is using almond or coconut oil, mixed with a dab of peppermint essential oil, to really get everything opened up.⠀

4. Crystals. If you are drawn to crystals, try picking out a blue/aqua crystal to wear. Blue is specifically connected to your throat chakra, and assists in communication and self-expression. I have a specific mala that I wear whenever I am podcasting!⠀

5. Meditation. Hop on YouTube or Insight Timer and search specifically for throat chakra guided meditations. ⠀

6. Energy work. Seek out people who can assist you with moving stuck energy in the throat. My personal favourites are Acupuncture and Reiki.⠀

7. Talk about your fears. Build a trusted network for support. By being vulnerable and verbalizing your struggles with those you trust, you open the doors for others to be open with you.


What challenges have you faced by speaking out publicly? What has helped you get comfortable with your voice?
