00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Purpose Before Performance, the podcast where purpose

2
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>always comes before performance. I'm your host, Zivia Walker. Today

3
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>we're talking thinking about something. Every creator spends years searching

4
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>for your voice. Your voice isn't just how you sound,

5
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>it's how you see the world. It's the perspective you

6
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>bring to every story, every project, every conversation, and every.

7
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Piece of art you create.

8
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest mistakes creators make is trying to

9
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 1>sound like someone who's already successful.

10
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 2>We study them.

11
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 1>We admire them, we imitate them. And while there's nothing

12
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>wrong with learning from others, there comes a moment when

13
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>inspiration has to become individuality. The world doesn't need another

14
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>version of someone else, It needs the version of you

15
00:02:54.199 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>that no one else can offer. Your voice is shaped

16
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>by your experiences, your victories, your failures, your questions, your faith,

17
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>your cultural your journey. Everything you've lived through becomes part

18
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 1>of the message you're meant to share. Finding your voice

19
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen overnight.

20
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 2>It happens through creteen.

21
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>One video at a time, one podcast at a time,

22
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>one song at a time, one script, one conversation. Every

23
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>time you create, you become more comfortable.

24
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>With who you are.

25
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And That's where confidence begins.

26
00:04:49.040 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Not in perfection, not in anything you do that is

27
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 2>not you.

28
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Always remember, no one is perfect. It's about your authentity.

29
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Don't be afraid if your work evolves, your voice will

30
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>grow as you grow. The creator you are today isn't

31
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the creator you'll be a year from now. Growth isn't

32
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>losing your voice. Growth is refining it. When your purpose

33
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>leads comparison begins to lose its power, you stop asking

34
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>how can I sound like them?

35
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 2>And you start asking how can I.

36
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Be more of who I was created to be. That's

37
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>where meaningful work begins.

38
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Your audience is looking for perfection.

39
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 1>They're looking for honesty, they're looking for connection. They're looking

40
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>for something real, and your voice is what makes your

41
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>work unforgettable.

42
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>So today.

43
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to leave you with this challenge. Stop chasing

44
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 1>someone else's style, Stop measuring your beginning against someone else's.

45
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 2>Middle.

46
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Create, share, learn, repeat. With every project, your voice becomes

47
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a little clearer. With every step of purpose, your confidence.

48
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Becomes a little stronger.

49
00:08:52.799 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Remember, your greatest advantage is it having the biggest audience.

50
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>It's having.

51
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>A voice that is authentically.

52
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Yours.

53
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for joining me for another episode of purpose.

54
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Before performance. If this message encourage you, share it with

55
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 1>a creator who knows the reminder that their voice matters

56
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>until next time. Keep creating, keep growing, keep leading with purpose,

57
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>because when you discover your voice, you don't just change

58
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>your work, you change the people your work reaches. I'm
