From Silence to Stage: Reclaiming Your Voice with Anthony Laye

Wine with Wita | Speech Pathology & Parenting Support

Show Notes

Hey everyone,

This week, I’m joined by Anthony Laye, a renowned behaviour expert and speaker who helps people communicate with confidence.

Anthony shares a deeply personal story about being told as a child to “pretend to sing” so no one would hear him - a moment that made him stop speaking and develop a stutter.

Today, he uses that experience to teach others how to reconnect with their authentic voice.

In this weeks episode, we talk about: How childhood experiences shape the way we communicate Why so many adults find self-expression uncomfortable The link between confidence, communication and connection What it means to stop performing and start being yourself How awareness and authenticity help us “unwrap” who we really are

To learn more about Anthony and his work, ⁠⁠visit his website⁠⁠. Lots of love, Rita

P.S.: follow me on Instagram for more tips, insights and updates.
