"Own Your Voice: Speak Your Truth Unapologetically"

Since when did having an opinion become offensive? I remember a time when people could disagree, and it wasn’t the end of the world. You believed what you believed, I believed what I believed, and if we didn’t see eye to eye—oh well, life moved on!

But today? It’s all about not offending anyone. Every word is scrutinized. God, forbid you express a thought that challenges the status quo!

Are we all supposed to be robots?
Do we have to think the same?
Are we living in some kind of ideological commune where original thought is banned?

I’ve always been someone with a voice and strong opinions. When I was younger, I was shushed for being too transparent. So, I drank—drowning my truth because I was ashamed of feeling too much, of not fitting the mold. I wasn’t allowed to express sadness or frustration, and that suppression was exhausting.

But today? Today, I feel blessed to be able to:

✅ Know who I am.
✅ Stand firm in my beliefs.
✅ Speak my truth without shame.
✅ Live authentically.
✅ Love big—but never be a pushover.
✅ Use the brain God gave me—because I refuse to be silenced.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I never want to hurt anyone. But I do believe that we’re all entitled to our opinions. I find different perspectives fascinating, even if I don’t agree with them. God made us uniquely, gifting us with the ability to think, reason, and form our own convictions.

So if my beliefs make someone uncomfortable, that’s not my problem.

I once heard Ben Shapiro say, "Never apologize for speaking your truth." And I couldn’t agree more.

Through my podcast, newsletter, and website, I have a platform to speak my truth—one that I will never take for granted. We live in the United States of America, a country built on free speech, and in recent years, we came dangerously close to losing that right. That’s why President Donald J. Trump was elected—because he speaks the truth, unfiltered and transparent. And whether you like him or not, you know where he stands. If you don’t like it, that’s okay! There are plenty of other places on this planet where the government will gladly control what you say, think, and do.

But not here. Not in America.

So, my hope for you is this: Embrace who you are. Own your voice. Stop worrying about whether everyone likes you. Be you—fully, unapologetically, and without fear. Because there’s only one you, and that’s exactly how God made you.

And with Ash Wednesday marking the start of Lent, maybe these next 40 days can be a challenge:
Be 100% yourself. Speak your truth. Live boldly, knowing that you are already perfectly made in God’s image.

Wishing you a stupendous weekend!

Love,
Bizzy
