Vasavi Kumar - Develop your bold voice

Vasavi Kumar is a life coach and licensed therapist with a myriad of in-person, print, televised, and social media experience. A first-generation Indian American growing up on Long Island and diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she learned to become extremely self-aware and take action to create the life she wanted for herself.

After years of trying journaling, because she’d heard it was a great way to learn about herself, change bad habits, and set and meet goals, Vasavi found that it wasn’t working for her. What did was talking to herself, aloud and with the compassion of a best friend. She shares, “How you talk to yourself matters. It sets the tone for every experience in your life. It will bring you either closer to or farther from the truth of who you are. Whether you take the time to speak words of tenderness and care to yourself or use a cold, dismissive tone of voice, how you’ve been speaking to yourself has gotten you up to this point. There is power in saying our thoughts out loud. It allows us to step back and ask ourselves, ‘Is the way that I’m speaking to myself helpful or hurtful?'‘

Vasavilearned that all the outside expert guidance in the world was no substitute for finding ways of tuning in to her truest inner self, hearing that self’s guidance and wisdom, and then living it with courage and empathy. In this podcast:

  • The concept of developing a bold voice

  • Ways to get clear on what you want and don't want in your life

  • How verbal regulation can help organise your mind and ideas
