In this powerful episode, Leanna welcomes author, communication coach and dialect coach, Samara Bay.   While Samara works with actors on dialect, including Gal Gadot, and politicians as a communication coach, she gives insight on how to use your voice to get what you want in the dating and relationship world.   She talks about the presence of voice bias in both the professional and dating environment and how we can learn to set aside our bias and listen with welcoming ears.    Leanna brings up a specific situation where her voice was not heard, which led her to feel unsafe on a date, and the two talk about the power dynamic between men and women and the constant oppression women experience due to male privilege and ignorance.   Samara then gives tangible advice, tone awareness, and specific phrases women can use to get what they want out of any situation.    Make sure to connect with Samara on instagram @samarabay, stay in touch through her weekly newsletter at www.samarabay.com, and keep your eyes open for her upcoming book PERMISSION TO SPEAK.    Thank you to our sponsor VeeFresh for providing products that empower women to take back their vaginal health!
