The Courage to Find Your Own Voice

Leanne Tormey, EdD is an educator and advocate who knows all-too-well that the journey toward finding your voice can be filled with peaks, valleys, and yes, peril.

Bravery Matters.

Welcome, friends. My name is Leanne Tormey, and in 2014, I earned my Doctoral degree from the University of Connecticut in Educational Leadership.

In writing my dissertation, I discovered a life-changing text, entitled, “Women’s Ways of Knowing” by Mary Belenky. Not only did this seminal work provide the theoretical lens for my research, but it helped me to understand the role that trauma plays in a woman’s journey, and the struggle to find her own voice.

I have been blessed not only to survive trauma, but to thrive as a result; and I invite you to join me as we talk about why “Bravery Matters”.
