What if the reason your message isn’t landing - or your sales feel harder than they should - isn’t your strategy… but the sound of your voice?
In this episode of Plenty, I sit down with the one-and-only Tracy Goodwin, founder of Captivate the Room, whose work completely changed how I understand communication, connection, and conversion. Tracy doesn’t teach “speaking tips.” She hears voices - literally - and she can identify microscopic sounds in your voice that can quietly repel trust, resonance, and income. According to her decades of research, those tiny sounds can cost you anywhere from 30–90% of your impact and revenue.
In our conversation, we explore how the voice carries our nervous system history, our unhealed patterns, and the unconscious strategies we learned early in life to stay safe. Tracy breaks down the seven layers of the voice, including what she calls “voice masks” - the subtle ways we try to prove ourselves, sound professional, be liked, or avoid judgment. These masks don’t make us safer. They make us harder to trust.
And then - very vulnerably - I let Tracy read my voice live on the podcast.
What unfolds is part masterclass, part nervous-system truth telling, and part real-time healing. Tracy pinpoints where I’m working too hard to be understood, where old achievement patterns still leak into my tone, and why my true vocal superpower is actually fun, passion, and dimensionality - not over-precision or proving. Yes, I cry. And yes, it’s worth listening all the way through.
We also talk about:
If you’ve ever felt like you’re saying all the “right” things but still not being fully received…
If you’ve built success but sense there’s more ease, truth, and power available…
If you want your voice to accurately represent who you really are -
This episode will change how you show up everywhere.
XO,
Kate
