SW 9 | Finding Your Voice: Janet Murray's Journey Through Controversy

/

In a world where the loudest voices often drown out the wisest, conversations that cut through the noise are vital.

My latest Staying Wild episode with **Janet Murray, Strategic Marketing Consultant and outspoken advocate for free speech and women’s rights**delivers exactly that.

It’s a bold exploration of courage, integrity, and the messy, magnificent journey of standing firm in your truth.

A Wild Woman’s Stand

Janet opened up about her own storm of public criticism and professional upheaval. What emerged wasn’t a tale of defeat, but one of grit, grace, and the audacity to keep speaking when silence and a public apology would have been easier.

This is the heart of the wild woman energy we celebrate on this podcast: strength entwined with empathy, honesty with compassion, and an unshakable refusal to shrink in the face of discomfort.

When Speaking Up Changes Everything

Janet’s story pivoted on a single moment, a video where she disagreed with the phrase “pregnant people.” The backlash was swift. The consequences, life-altering.

But so were the connections. Her stance resonated with thousands who had been silently grappling with the same questions. Janet’s journey reminds us that challenging norms isn’t about chasing approval; it’s about choosing alignment over appeasement, truth over tolerance.

Redefining the “Good Girl”

Too often, women are conditioned to stay nice. To prioritise likability, compliance, and keeping the peace. Janet’s story is a rallying cry against that outdated script.

To be a “wild woman” is to write your own narrative, to claim your space unapologetically, and to lead with both strength and kindness. Because as Janet powerfully shows us, compassion doesn’t mean compromise, it means choosing courage without abandoning humanity.

The Ripple Effect

What if every woman who felt the sting of judgment chose to speak anyway? Janet’s experience proves how one voice can ripple outward, inspiring others to question, reflect, and act with integrity.

Her story is more than personal, it’s a reminder that bravery, even in its smallest acts, can create monumental change.

Janet Murray continues to share her insights and advocacy on social media, inviting women everywhere to connect, reflect, and rise together.

And as for us, let’s take her story as fuel. To stand tall in our truth. To lead with love. To refuse to apologise for our power.

Because staying wild isn’t about rebellion for its own sake. It’s about living aligned, awake, and unapologetically alive.

🔥 Keep rising. Keep leading. Stay wild, Adelaide x
