Have you ever asked yourself: What do I actually want to be known for—not what the world expects of me, but what I genuinely want to be recognized for?In this episode, I sit down with Steph Wharton—speaker, coach, and founder of the Speaker Movement community—for a conversation that goes far beyond the surface of visibility and public speaking. We unpack the work that happens behind the showing up: the identity shifts, the conditioning we absorb from school systems and society, and the quiet but powerful practice of rediscovering your own voice. We explore why so many of us—even those of us who have been doing this work for years—still get caught in the trap of "Who am I to speak on this?" and how redefining value on our own terms can break that loop.Steph shares her deeply personal journey of reclaiming her identity, how it transformed her business, her relationships, and even the way she's raising her son bilingually. You'll also hear practical, grounded tools for nervous system regulation before you speak, why your existing platforms are already a stage, and how the simple act of listening to your own recordings can rewire the way you communicate—not just on camera, but in everyday life.This is a conversation about permission, authenticity, and what becomes possible when you stop filtering yourself and start showing up as you actually are.Key Talking Points:In this episode, we discuss…The work behind the visibility: rediscovering your voice, identity, and what you genuinely want to be known forHow the schooling system, societal conditioning, and external validation shape the way we show up—and how to shift to an internal rubric insteadReframing public speaking: your existing platforms are already a stage, and you don't need to wait for permission to call yourself a speakerImposter syndrome, the inner critic, and redefining value beyond knowledge and expertise—lived experience and resonance count tooSomatic tools and nervous system regulation practices to ground yourself before speakingReclaiming your identity: Steph's journey of embracing her identity and the magnetic, community-building effect of owning your truth unapologeticallyTime Stamps:[03:13] Welcoming Steph Wharton[03:56] The work behind the visibility: rediscovering your voice and identity[04:36] Postpartum identity shifts and asking "What do I want to be known for?"[06:32] Silencing outside noise and asking "Do I genuinely want this?"[07:58] The "bouncing back" narrative and self-imposed pressure[11:16] How the schooling system conditioned our worth through grades and milestones[13:02] Parenting, validation-seeking, and the broken system of benchmarks[15:15] Shifting from external validation to internal validation in visibility[18:25] Pairing your internal "why" with your external impact[19:19] Your existing platforms as a virtual stage: reframing public speaking[21:09] Imposter syndrome: "Who am I to speak on this?"[23:06] The TED Talk client who didn't see themselves as a speaker[24:08] Redefining value beyond knowledge and expertise[26:34] The tuning fork metaphor: breaking up stagnant energy[28:15] Somatic work and nervous system regulation before speaking[29:23] Practical tools: movement, music, and breathwork for regulation[32:56] The practice of listening to your own recordings to improve your speaking[36:44] Re-listening from a data standpoint: curiosity over shame[41:50] Reclaiming identity: Steph's journey of embracing her identity[45:18] What transformed: raising her son bilingual and building deeper connections[46:03] The community and movement aspect of authentic visibility[48:05] The magnetic effect of owning your truth[49:43] Permission, possibility, and seeing what becomes possible[51:12] How to connect with Steph: Speaker Movement community and Speakers EraConnect with Steph Wharton:Personal Website | Speaker Movement Podcast | Speaker Movement Directory | InstagramConnect with Ashley Graham:Thank you for listening!
