In this Top 50 Voices of Influence Speaker Spotlight, I had the honor of introducing Anita Karadalian-Girgis, one of our keynote speakers for Top 50 Voices of Influence: Women in Alignment, happening June 15–19, 2026. Anita is a somatic mindset coach who helps women come back into their bodies, expand their nervous system capacity, and reconnect with the version of themselves who is ready to live, lead, and receive expansively.
We dove into the power and transformation that happens when a woman decides her voice is no longer something to hide, soften, or delay.
Owning the Voice After Years of Suppression
One of the first things Anita shared was how deeply aligned Top 50 Voices of Influence felt because of the way it centers women, their voices, and their gifts.
She spoke about the pivotal moment women are in right now, where they’re stepping into their power. Where more women are beginning to own who they are. And yet, for so many, their voice is still one of the hardest places to reclaim.
For women who grew up in people-pleasing, expectation, silence, or self-protection, using their voice can feel unfamiliar. It can even feel unsafe. Anita named this with so much clarity: the voice becomes activated through use. Every opportunity to speak, share, and express becomes part of the art of becoming more fully seen.
That is part of what drew her to Top 50 Voices of Influence. It was not just the visibility. It was the opportunity to use her voice in service of activating other women to use theirs.
The Body as the Place Where Alignment Begins
Anita’s work is rooted in helping women reconnect with their bodies.
As a somatic mindset coach, she supports women in expanding their nervous system capacity so they can hold the lives they say they desire. She shared how many women, especially high-performing women, are deeply disconnected from their bodies without even realizing it. And I couldn’t agree more, because I was once there too.
We keep going, we push, we perform, we override. We’ve operated from fight, freeze, or survival patterns and call it ambition, discipline, or responsibility.
Anita described the work as a return to center. A return to the breath and to presence. For her, presence and awareness are what allow women to move into a new state of alignment and flow.
This is especially powerful because Anita does not speak about embodiment as a concept. She speaks about it as someone who has lived the disconnection herself. She shared that her own default pattern was freeze. When something happened, she would shut down, lose access to her words, and struggle to express what she was feeling.
That is why voice activation matters so deeply to her. Because for Anita, the voice is connected to the body. The ability to speak is connected to the ability to feel. And the ability to feel is connected to the ability to lead from wholeness.
Saying Yes to Visibility Before It Feels Comfortable
When Anita saw Top 50 Voices of Influence, she was already in a season of intentional expansion.
She had made a decision that this year, she wanted to impact at least 200 women. That number was only the beginning, but it represented something important: her desire to be in front of more women, share her work, and allow her message to move beyond one-on-one spaces.
She also shared that speaking was part of her next identity shift.
In the past, she was the woman who would have avoided the stage. She would have worried about messing up, being judged, or not being received the way she hoped. But in this season of her business and life, she realized that getting in front of the right women was part of the impact she was here to make.
That is what made Top 50 feel aligned for Anita. It gave her a platform to speak to women who are hungry for growth, healing, embodiment, and expansion.
And in her words, when she took herself out of the equation and focused on what her message could do for others, the decision became much clearer and it’s reason you want to grab a front row seat to experience Anita live in Top 50 Voices of Influence: Women in Alignment.
Why She Chose the Keynote Experience
Anita did not only say yes to being part of the event. She said yes to stepping in as a keynote speaker.
For her, that decision was directly connected to impact.
She shared that a shorter talk would have felt more comfortable. But the keynote opportunity invited her into a deeper stretch: a 45-minute live keynote, streamed during the week of the event, with the opportunity for her message to reach women beyond the room.
What anchored the yes was the knowing that her work matters.
Her message around somatic healing, coming back home to the body, and nervous system expansion has the power to support women who do not even know this kind of work exists yet. Anita believes that some of our most empowered leaders will be the ones who are willing to work with their nervous systems, become more embodied, and lead from a deeper internal foundation.
The keynote opportunity gave her a way to put her voice, her essence, and her body of work in front of more women. Not for performance. For service. And to impact over 200 women in just one event.
Impact Above Fear
One of the most powerful themes Anita returned to was impact.
She shared that it can be easy to talk yourself out of a decision, especially when that decision stretches you. But what helped her stay anchored was the ripple effect. The question became less about, “Am I nervous?” and more about, “Who could this serve?”
Her work is rooted in helping women feel rejuvenated, return to themselves, and feel excited about life again. She knows what it feels like to be disconnected for so long that you forget what aliveness feels like. And she also knows the power of feeling the wires come back on.
That is the energy she is bringing to the Top 50 VOI stage.
A Message for the Woman Who Does Not Feel Ready
When asked what she would say to the woman who feels the call but has not said yes yet, Anita offered a beautiful challenge.
She invited women to question whether they are truly not ready, or whether the belief of not being ready has become the thing delaying their progress.
Her perspective was clear: if there is a call in your heart, you have to honor it, even when it feels scary. Growth lives on the other side of that edge.
She also spoke about checking in with the body. What does the opportunity bring up? Where does the fear live? Is it anxiety, or is it the nervous system recognizing the magnitude of the impact available?
That distinction matters.
Because sometimes what we label as fear is actually our next level speaking through the body.
