Why Your Voice Deserves to Be Heard with Gail Larsen

Are you hiding in the back row when it comes to public speaking?

What if the key to powerful storytelling is embracing your most unfiltered, authentic self?

Could humor and vulnerability be the secret to delivering a message that truly resonates?

In this episode of The Courage To Be podcast, Tania Vasallo sits down with transformational speaking mentor Gail Larsen to explore the power of authentic speaking. Gail shares her Transformational Speaking method, which helps speakers tap into their “original medicine”—the truth they are meant to express. She explains why true confidence comes from knowing who you are and what you’re here to say, and how her small, intimate class setting fosters deep self-exploration.

Gail also shares a hilarious yet insightful anecdote about using humor to navigate menopause, including performing as “Madame Ovary”. She reveals how laughter helps break barriers and create deep connections with an audience. Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or just starting out, this episode will inspire you to speak from the heart and connect on a whole new level.
