On this episode of Conversations with Coach LA, Coach LA sits down on the virtual couch with Lyrical Faith—an international award-winning spoken word poet, cultural curator, recording artist, educator, and social justice scholar—for a powerful conversation about poetry, healing, identity, resilience, and finding the courage to use your voice.

BET on SELF™ Reflection

Your voice does not have to sound like anyone else's to be powerful.

Sometimes healing begins when we stop editing ourselves for the comfort of others and give ourselves permission to tell the truth—through conversation, music, poetry, journaling, therapy, or simply saying out loud what we've carried silently.

Believe in your voice. Empower yourself to use it. Transform what you've lived through into something that moves you forward.

That’s what it means to BET on SELF™.
