Have you ever caught yourself saying 'yes' when you meant 'no, ' retreating into silence when speaking up would have made a difference, or overexplaining yourself without understanding why?

In this book, Speaking Human,

you will discover the beliefs, experiences, and emotional patterns that shape the way you speak, react, and connect. From cultural expectations to personal wounds, the forces influencing the ways you communicate often lie beneath the surface, until you learn to recognize them and speak with understanding, fostering self-awareness and self-respect.

With authentic storytelling, reflective questions, and practical tools, award-winning author and speaker, Dr. Damini Chawla, guides you to:

Discover the internal stories and scripts that shape your voice,

Understand why some conversations feel so hard, and how to navigate them successfully,

Express yourself with clarity and self-care, not self-protection, creating the space for mutual truth, trust, and transformation.

Every conversation you ever have, with your partner, children, or colleagues, will only be as deep and authentic as those you are willing and able to have with yourself. Let Speaking Human be your guide to these essential conversations.
