Do you ever feel like your inner voice has been turned down to a whisper while everyone else seems to speak at full volume?
Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much as a neurodivergent women,” “too sensitive,” or that you should “tone it down.”
Over time, you start shrinking, doubting, and masking parts of who you really are—until your authentic voice feels muffled beneath the noise of expectation.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many neurodivergent women grow up learning to blend in rather than stand out. But deep down, your voice carries wisdom, creativity, and a God-given spark that the world needs.
It’s time to unmask that voice, gently turn up the volume, and let it sing.
Step 1: Recognise the Whisper of the Inner Voice - Neurodivergent Women
Your inner voice is the quiet whisper that knows when something feels off, when your energy dips, or when your soul lights up. But if you’ve spent years people-pleasing or masking, it can feel distant or hard to trust.
Start small.
Notice when you silence yourself—when you hold back from sharing an idea, downplay an achievement, or stay quiet to avoid conflict. These are gentle nudges from your soul saying, “I’m still here.” Neurodivergent women, listen up.
Take a moment each day to pause and listen. Journal a quick sentence: “What is my inner voice saying right now?”
It might whisper truths like “I need rest,” “I’m proud of myself,” or “This isn’t for me anymore.”
This simple awareness is where empowerment begins.
Step 2: Befriend Fear and Doubt as Neurodivergent Women
Fear and doubt often crash the confidence party, especially for us neurodivergent women. They whisper, “What if nobody likes it?” or “You’ll embarrass yourself!” But the truth is, everyone feels fear and doubt—even the most self-assured people. In fact, research shows that around 85% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.
The secret sauce is to nod at these feelings without letting them grab the steering wheel.
Picture fear as a backseat driver—super annoying but definitely not in charge.
When doubt sneaks in, take a big, dramatic breath and remind yourself how awesome you are. Your voice and ideas are like rockstars that need to hit the stage, so tell “Mr. Imposter” (or even “Mrs. Imposter”) to buckle up in the back.
Don’t forget to give them a pat on the back for always trying to keep you safe. Maybe even name them!
Like:
“Nice try, Jane, but you’re riding in the back because I’m giving that speech. Feel free to tag along, but you’re not stopping this show!”
By naming and humouring your inner voice / imposter voice, you take away its power. You acknowledge fear as part of the journey—but remind it that your faith and purpose are driving.
Step 3: Speak with Style and Spirit
Once you’ve made peace with your inner critic, it’s time to let your voice rise.
Not everyone’s “shout” looks the same, especially neurodivergent women. For some, it’s public speaking or creative expression. For others, it’s setting boundaries, writing with honesty, or praying aloud for the first time in a long while.
Ask yourself: What does my bold voice look like?
Maybe it’s gentle but firm. Maybe it’s playful and messy. Maybe it’s still learning to trust itself.
However it shows up, your voice was designed with divine intention.
To strengthen it:
Practice small expressions — share one honest thought a day, even if your voice shakes.
Create safe spaces — journal, pray, or talk with trusted people who celebrate your unfiltered self.
Use your sensory strengths — sing, draw, move, or write. Neurodivergent voices often express truth through creative channels, not just words.
Each time you honour your authentic expression, you amplify your light—and remind yourself that your perspective is not only valid, but vital.
Step 4: Let Faith Fuel Your Confidence
When you’re learning to speak up, it’s easy to forget that your voice isn’t just your own—it’s part of your God-given purpose.
You were created intentionally, quirks and all.
The same God who designed your neurodivergent brain also equipped you with the sensitivity, creativity, and intuition that make your insights unique.
When fear tries to quieten you, return to the truth that your worth isn’t defined by how others respond—it’s rooted in who made you.
Try this short prayer or affirmation:
“Lord, help me honour the voice You’ve placed within me. Let me speak with grace, courage, and authenticity—reflecting Your love in my words.”
Let your faith become the steady rhythm behind your words. Speak with courage, but also with kindness. Boldness doesn’t have to be loud—it just has to be true.

Final Reflection
Finding your voice isn’t a one-time event—it’s a continual unmasking. Each time you choose truth over perfection, self-compassion over silence, and purpose over fear, your confidence grows a little stronger.
Remember: your voice was never lost, just waiting for permission to rise. So take a deep breath, smile at “Mr. Imposter” in the back seat, and step forward.
Your story matters. Your voice matters.
And the world is listening.
