If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
~ Leonard Cohen
In one of my former lives, I worked as a disc jockey on a classic rock station in Denver, Colorado, a major market. I used a fake name for my radio personality, and I think it can be helpful to adopt a persona; it’s a form of voice. When I talk about voice, as I’m going to do here, I’m not saying we can’t adopt a persona for purposes of entertainment or otherwise. Rather, I’m going to talk about my experience with voice as related to aligning with my true or original self.
What is it? How do we find it? The struggle to find our true voice is a profound journey many of us embark on, filled with uncertainty and self-discovery.
