In this clip from her conversation on What Do You Know To Be True?, master voice coach Barbara McAfee shares why the inner critic and your true self use the exact same instrument, your voice, and what happens when you stop silencing one to protect the other.
Barbara's insight: the voice you use to tell yourself you're not ready, not qualified, not good enough? That's the same voice that's trying to call you toward who you're meant to become. When you expand your voice, you expand your sense of who you are, and that changes every conversation you're having with yourself.
This clip is for leaders, coaches, and high-achieving professionals who feel the tension between who they've built themselves to be and who they sense they could become. If personal reinvention, shadow work, or emotional intelligence resonate with you, Barbara's framework offers a practical entry point, one that starts with something you already have: your voice.

In this conversation, master voice coach, singer, author, and TEDx speaker, Barbara McAfee explains why the truth lives in your belly, not your head, and why your tone of voice will always reveal what your words are trying to hide. Drawing on over three decades of coaching leaders, Barbara breaks down how emotional intelligence and executive presence are not about speaking louder or commanding more authority.
