Two Coaches, One Conversation: Creativity, Doubt, and the Voice Inside
A candid exploration of self-doubt, creative growth, and learning to love the sound of your own voice.
Have you ever felt torn between your creative dreams and the practical demands of life? Or struggled to silence the voice of self-doubt that whispers, Who do you think you are?
I recently sat down with Erin MacCoy on the SoulBiz BFF Podcast to share my journey through these very challenges.
NOTE: Links are to the Apple Podcast but I hear it is available in all the places you find podcasts.
I’ve known Erin for years and she is a star coach and fellow “heart centered badass!”

In our flowing conversation, we explored the dynamic interplay of creativity, self-compassion, and personal growth—and how doubt isn’t always the enemy we think it is.
Here are a few highlights we touched on:
The Role of Self-Doubt in Creativity
Doubt often feels like a roadblock, but Erin and I unpacked how it can also be a powerful tool for growth. I shared how reframing my doubts helped me find new perspectives and break through creative ruts. We also delved into the themes I explore in my book, Doubt Riding Shotgun, where I unpack how to navigate self-doubt and turn it into a tool for growth.The Transformative Power of Your Voice
Our voice—both literal and metaphorical—is one of our most powerful tools for self-expression. Yet, so many of us feel disconnected from it. During the episode, I shared how learning to love my voice transformed not just my music but my confidence and ability to connect with others.

We discussed actionable exercises to help you quiet the inner critic and reconnect with your authentic voice.Visualizing the Person We Are Becoming: I also did a brief “Mentor Bonding” visualization exercise which is one I do often for myself and also help my clients.
If you’ve ever felt like your creative voice was stifled or doubted your ability to pursue your dreams, this episode is for you.
I also introduced my Learn to Love Your Voice Mini-Course—a guided experience designed to help you overcome self-doubt, build confidence, and embrace your unique sound.
