Say It Out Loud: Using the Power of Your Voice to Listen to Your Deepest Thoughts and Courageously Pursue Your Dreams

Use verbal prompts and practices to become the person you want to be
When wellness star Vasavi Kumar suggests “saying it out loud,” she means it
literally. Years of journaling in an attempt to learn about herself and meet her
goals hadn’t worked, so she decided to talk to herself instead, out loud and with
the compassion of a best friend. She used this technique as she journeyed
through the challenges of being the daughter of Indian immigrants, a bipolar
diagnosis, substance abuse, and recovery. Along the way, Vasavi learned 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 resilience and empathy. In Say It Out Loud, she gives simple
verbal prompts to help you voice your deepest desires and reframe negative selftalk so you can heal from past experiences, go after your dreams, and become
more intentional, focused, and compassionate.
