Presence isn't something you perform. It's something you transmit. In this episode of Conscious InSights, Renelle Everett Darr invites Soul Speaks creator Paula Friedland into a conversation that goes beyond performance and into pure presence. Together, they explore how true voice emerges when we stop trying to say the right thing and start being the real thing.

Together, they explore what happens when leaders stop searching for the right words and start trusting the frequency of presence—the felt resonance that shifts rooms, relationships, and results.

Renelle and Paula reveal:

• Why finding your voice matters more than finding your words

• How presence lives in the body, not just the mind

• Why intuition activates when leaders slow down and truly arrive

• How vulnerability becomes strength when it's rooted in essence

• What "executive presence" looks like when it's embodied, not performed

This episode invites you to slow down, listen deeper, and discover the voice beneath the words — the one that can change how you lead, speak, and connect.
