Finding one's own voice can be a challenging task that requires time and effort. According to Jomary Arroyo Soto, a Puerto Rican author and entrepreneur, having a voice of one's own is essential to defining who you are. In an interview with El Nuevo Día, Arroyo Soto discussed the importance of developing one's own voice, which she explores in her book 'Lo imprescindible en la cartera de la vida'.
She notes that people often start with a 'rustic' voice, which develops over time through experiences. Arroyo Soto emphasizes the need to speak kindly to oneself and to not let pessimism dominate one's thoughts. She also stresses that having a voice of one's own means being true to oneself, without betraying one's values or feelings, and being brave enough to be coherent.
Her book offers reflections, practical exercises, and affirmations to help readers build confidence and choose what is truly essential. Arroyo Soto's work aims to help women, in particular, identify with everyday experiences, such as dreams, responsibilities, fear, and fatigue, and to find the strength to move forward.
