Your voice doesn’t disappear overnight. It gets trained to stay quiet.
In this episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel sits down with Charlotte Dobre for a raw conversation about voice, identity, people-pleasing, and reclaiming authenticity.
Charlotte shares how fear of judgment, online criticism, and performance culture can mute self-expression — and how confidence is rebuilt through self-trust.
This episode explores authenticity over approval, creativity without shame, and why owning your voice changes how you lead, create, and live.
