About the podcast

Clearer, Not Louder (formerly The Self Love Fix) is a podcast by Beatrice Kamau for the whimsically unserious (but serious about life!) girls, exploring discernment, the power of the voice, and what becomes possible when you learn to trust and use your own—without losing your joyfulness along the way. In a world that encourages constant reacting, overexplaining, performing, and taking everything very seriously, this is a space for getting clearer about what's actually happening to you and around you, saying what you mean, and remaining wonderfully alive while you do it. Each episode explores the subtle dynamics shaping our relationships, decisions, and inner lives: the moments when something feels off, when we override our God-given wisdom, when "I'll wait and see" quietly becomes self-negotiation, or when we realize it might be time to stop explaining and simply act accordingly. Through thoughtful reflections, insightful conversations, and a sprinkle of humor throughout, Clearer, Not Louder explores what it looks like to become more discerning without becoming cynical, more principled without becoming rigid, and firmer and more powerful in your voice without losing the playful, curious, and optimistic parts of yourself. Because growing wiser doesn't have to mean becoming harder—or less fun. The goal isn't to be louder. It's to be clearer.

    In this week’s episode, we discuss why it can bother you so much when someone doesn’t like you—even when you genuinely like yourself—and what may be happening underneath the urge to either change their mind or figure out why. We also explore how knowing how God views you can completely change the way you interpret someone else’s disapproval.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • How it’s possible to have healthy self-esteem without pretending that every feature, habit, or behavior is your absolute favorite.

    • The two common ways we respond when someone doesn’t like us—and how being preoccupied with others’ disapproval is actually a massive distraction.

    • How to uncouple someone else’s approval or disapproval from the way you view yourself.

    In this week’s episode, we discuss why the advice to “be content with what you have”—while true—can still feel extremely difficult to put into practice when you can’t seem to stop comparing yourself to other people. We go beneath the surface-level advice to explore one major, often-overlooked reason comparison can have such an unrelenting grip on you.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • Why you can feel genuinely grateful for everything God has given you and STILL experience an insatiable urge to compare yourself to others in nearly every area of your life.

    • The deeper reason comparison can feel automatic and almost impossible to turn off—even when you KNOW it’s stealing your joy and hate how it makes you feel.

    • Why it can be difficult to feel relaxed and secure in relationships, work, and business unless others perceive you as exceptional, impressive, or indispensable.

    In this week’s episode, we discuss what it looks like to live a slower, more intentional—and less chronically online—life by reducing the noise, embracing the ordinary offline moments of life, and reconnecting with your originality and individuality.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • How to ACTUALLY spend less time scrolling and more time living—present in your own life and less preoccupied with comparing it to someone else’s.

    • How experiencing your life through the eyes of an imaginary audience can quietly turn living into performing and curating.

    • How the habit of constantly consuming online can spill over into your opinions, speech, style, and everyday life—and why individuality requires a little less input.

    • What it looks and feels like to share interests with someone, enjoy their company, and STILL experience a looming sense of unease within the relationship.

    • The difference between extending understanding to someone and losing yourself—and your values—in the process of trying to understand them.

    • What happens to your voice when you become passive about mismatched values in your relationships—and why following your convictions matters.

    In Part Three of The Loudest Boundaries Are Unspoken, we discuss how committing to not taking yourself lightly—that is, carrying yourself with high regard—is an unspoken boundary that speaks volumes about how others should treat you.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • The TRUE, firm foundation for carrying yourself as someone worthy of high regard—one that goes DEEPER than “self-love” and “seeing yourself as worthy.”

    • How the WAY you use your voice shapes how people perceive the strength of your boundaries.

    • What people register when you enter a room before you even SPEAK—and how it influences the way they treat and engage with you.

    • What to do when you want OUT of a conversation and someone continues talking ON and ON—even after you've given EVERY body cue imaginable

    In this episode, we explore the boundaries people can FEEL—the kind that indirectly let people know how to treat you without you having to bark instructions at them. This conversation is especially for the girl who already knows when someone has made her uncomfortable but feels squirmy and uncomfy about calling it out bluntly or directly.

    What you'll learn in this episode:
    • The difference between traditional "vocal" boundaries and the boundaries people pick up on without being explicitly told—the kind that make someone think, "For some reason, I better not speak like that around her. Let me adjust myself."

    • The three subtle cues we all give that people pick up on when determining how carefully and thoughtfully to treat us.

    • What it can look like to respond to an insult when directness doesn't come naturally to you—no more giggling to make things less awkward, by the way!

We also chat why ambitious women need ambitious friends, beginning again after friendship loss, and a few things I learned from my experience at the Create & Cultivate Festival.

    What you'll learn in this episode:
    • The two beliefs that quietly make adult friendship HARDER than it needs to be: that putting yourself out there is a humiliation ritual (it's not!), and that everyone is on a no new friends vibe (they're not)
    • Tangible ways to meet and genuinely connect with people—even if you're introverted (i've got 7 for ya!)
    • How to dust yourself off and try again when a potential friendship fizzles and you feel discouraged about trying again.

    ***PSST, NO EPISODE NEXT WEEK SEPTEMBER 10, WE WILL BE BACK SEPTEMBER 17 IN LIGHT OF LABOR DAY***

    In this episode, we chat: Why being comfortable and confident setting boundaries with other people might start with getting better at telling yourself no—and what your day-to-day choices can teach you about saying no when letting things slide, minimizing the severity of an issue, or simply going along with it feels like... the easier option.

    What you'll learn in this episode:

    • Why setting boundaries is about more than knowing what to say—and how the way you manage your impulses and emotions in everyday life can show up, positively or negatively, in the boundaries you set with others.
    • What it looks like to tell yourself no when yes is still an option, and why being able to do something doesn't always mean it's in your best interest to do it.
    • How to actually begin building the muscle to hold boundaries with others without the guilt, mind-spiraling, and preoccupation with how they will receive what you say.

    • What the people you consider "interesting," "unique," and "cool" are doing differently that causes them to stand out—and why it's not what you think.

    • How the things you're naturally drawn to and curious about tell a story about the gifts and skills the Lord has equipped you with for the purpose & assignment over your life.
