Are You Being Silent or Are You Being Silenced?

Finding Your Voice: Unpacking the Stories That Keep Us Silent

Hi, I’m Chisomo from It Starts With A Dream, and in today’s episode, I’m diving into a question that’s been on my mind for a long time: Are you being silent, or are you being silenced? This idea was sparked by something I heard during the Oprah and Meghan Markle interview, and it’s stuck with me ever since.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own experiences of self-silencing and being silenced by others. From my childhood in Zambia to moving to England and Wales, I unpack the moments that shaped my voice—or took it away. I also talk about my journey of healing through faith and how I’ve started breaking free from patterns of hiding and holding back.

What We’ll Explore Together:

  • The Roots of Silence – How childhood experiences, cultural shifts, and even racism shaped the way I shared (or didn’t share) my voice.
  • Self-Silencing vs. Being Silenced – Recognising the fears and societal pressures that stop us from showing up as ourselves.
  • Healing Through Reflection – The faith-based process that helped me release shame, fear, and the feeling that it’s “wrong” to be me.
  • Owning Your Story – How embracing your quirks, passions, and gifts creates space for others to feel seen and heard.

Questions I Want You to Reflect On:

  • Are you staying silent by choice, or is something or someone silencing you?
  • What past experiences have shaped the way you share your voice today?
  • What parts of your story or passions are you holding back, and how could sharing them connect you with others?

  • What I Hope You’ll Take Away:

    • The things you feel silenced about might be the exact message someone else needs to hear.
    • Sharing your unique story and perspective creates a ripple effect—it can empower others and build an authentic, like-minded community.
    • Even the quirks or “weird” interests you’re hesitant to share are part of what makes you, you.

Let’s Connect:
I’d love to hear your thoughts after this episode! What are you holding back from sharing? Are you ready to step into your voice? Send me a message or comment wherever you’re listening.

The reason Christian woman aren't getting the results in business/coaching/mentoring courses As kingdom women we aim to align our lives with Kingdom values and Gods word That can be hard to do when you're in a program and find out the hosts world views and some of their teaching either directly goes against God's word or more often is misaligned. You're learning something practical but the host brings in tarot cards or advice from their spiritual guides. This has happened so often to myself and friends. Holy Spirit discernment kicks in and you find yourself wondering how to engage with the rest of the course or content. You find yourself filtering the content or trying to put it through a biblical lens and it's really quite exhausting. You now find it hard to be fully behind the program you've paid for and the doubts start to rise. How much of their content is influenced from other sources? What if you ignore that bit but focus on the skills parts? I think you can see how that sort of thinking is going to make it really hard to get amazing results from the program. Belief and getting behind something is a big part of success and also trusting enough so you can actually take the action. The Bible talks about the double minded man should not expecting to receive anything. It's very hard to benefit when you're in 2 opposite minds! But how do you align your trust/faith when you sense the spiritual red flags? I found myself struggling more and more and knew I was being called into faith based settings. I didn't think I was going to be one of those creating the setting but here we are, as I follow God's pull and direction. Brand New Era is that space to uncover your message, use your gifts and start your God led business/ministry/service.

Have you ever quietly wondered… “Is there more?” More than the routines? The roles? The boxes ticked? So many women I’ve spoken to lately—clients, friends, even myself—have felt this quiet ache. They’ve followed the path, hit the milestones, maybe even climbed the ladder. And yet... something still feels missing. It’s not a failure. It’s not you being ungrateful. It’s a holy discontent — a divine invitation to more. I believe that yearning is from God. He’s placed gifts, dreams, and stories inside you for a reason. And He’s calling you to make an eternal impact with them. That’s why I created Brand New Era — a self-paced course to help you break free from fear and finally share what God has placed inside of you. In this course, you’ll: ✨ Break through fear and limiting beliefs ✨ Clarify your God-given message and calling ✨ Build unshakable confidence ✨ Start showing up with purpose and boldness With my 4-part framework: Milestones + Mastery + Message = Mission, you’ll connect the dots between your past, your purpose, and the people you’re called to serve. 🎉 Access to the self-study version ends Sunday 1st June. Enroll now and get the option to upgrade to the live group experience for just $99 (vs $500+ later). If you’ve felt stuck, silenced, or unsure where to start—this is your opportunity 💬 Drop a “🔥” in the comments if this speaks to you or send me a DM with the word “ERA” to get the link. Let’s step into your Brand New Era—together. bit ly/bneselfstudy . . . #MadeForMore #ChristianEntrepreneur #PurposeInChrist #FaithDrivenWomen

Feeling held back with releasing your faith based program/coaching/training because you feel you need to be responsible for getting your clients results? We need to remember it's not our talents and gifts that's equipping us, it's God and ultimately it's his responsibility to change and heal hearts and minds. Our responsibility is to simply do as he's asked. 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 reminds us we plant a seed, someone else may water it but God makes it grow....and the one who plants and the one who waters has one purpose, they will each be rewarded to their own labour. I pray that takes the heavy burden off you and releases you to share your God breathed message today 🙏🏼

Have you ever felt you couldn't share your message or put that program or workshop out because you didn't feel like the "finished article"? This is such a common roadblock to walking out your God given purpose. Because you feel it, doesn't mean it has to stop you. 1. We don't need to be the finished article, only Jesus is perfect. Our journey of practising our healing and becoming is for life. We don't need to have arrived we just need to walk in obedience. 2. God will use us, wherever we are and however we are. In our weakness he is made strong, so we don't need to serve from a place of being perfect but from a place of surrender to God and His will. 3. God's grace is enough. He is sufficient, if he has put a message in your heart to share, trust it and ask for his grace and wisdom as you do. James 1:5 says he gives wisdom generously to those who ask. 4. You only need to be a few steps ahead of those you serve. Having someone who's just walked through the trenches is so valuable to the person still in it. We become a picture of hope and what's possible without making them feel like it's unattainable because we're so ahead that we feel unreliable to them. Which of those gave you the reminder you needed today to take that next step? What would you add? . . . #GodGivenGifts #GodGivenVision #Godgivenstrength #godgivenpurpose #divinepurpose #divinepurposedriven #KingdomWork #KingdomMindset #kingdombusiness

So many of us are still living by rules we didn’t choose—beliefs we picked up in childhood that quietly shape how we show up, dream, and make decisions. In this post, I’m exploring the messages we’ve outgrown and how to rewrite them so we can live more freely, creatively, and on purpose.As a coach, I often hear women echo childhood messages that still shape their lives today. Phrases like: 👉 “If you can’t do it perfectly, don’t do it at all.” 👉 “I want doesn’t get.” 👉 “Be seen and not heard.” 👉 “You can’t pay the bills with art.” These inherited beliefs may have come from well-meaning adults or cultural norms—but when we hold them up to the light of the lives we want to lead—creative, purpose-driven, and free—they can quietly hold us back. In this episode, we're talking about the rules we’ve outgrown, and asking the powerful question: What rules need breaking so we can finally move forward? Watch or listen below and come tell me what childhood beliefs you've left behind to step into your God given identity and calling? 🔗 bit.ly/breakcr 🔗 #UnlockYourPurpose #shareyourvoice #womensupportingwomen #InnerHealingJourney #healingtopurpose #KingdomWomen #unlockyourpurpose #innerchild #healyourstories #childhoodhealed
