In this episode of The Miracle You podcast with your host Vince Kramer of Imagine Miracles, you will meet special guest Vivian Cobb. Vince and Vivian talk about finding your true story and then finding your voice so you can share your story authentically with yourself and others. Vivian shares the story of her journey to begin to live on purpose.
Vivian Cobb is a multi-passionate entrepreneur. She began her career in video and film production in Dallas, Texas, as co-owner of a production company for 12 years, before moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado. For the last 20 years, Vivian has been in the real estate industry and owns Cobb Real Estate, a boutique brokerage.
In 2017, Vivian walked into her first Toastmasters meeting, hoping to improve her speaking skills to pursue a long-lost dream of being a public speaker. Her passion for sharing her story led to the establishment of Vivian Cobb Speaking in 2019. She has since earned her Distinguished Toastmaster designation and has become a 2x TEDx speaker. Vivian is the author of two coloring books, “Negativity Clouds Truth” and “The Receptacle,” and is currently writing two more books with expected publication dates in early 2023.
She is sought out by corporations and organizations, virtually and in-person, all over the world. Vivian calls herself an “emotions advocate.” This role evolved due to many devastating personal challenges and losses throughout her life. Having leveraged the lessons presented during those challenges for her personal and professional success, she is on a mission to inspire others to understand how important it is to embrace emotions rather than hide from or stuff them.
Vivian guides her audiences and clients to confront the misconceptions about emotions (they’re not bad) and challenges them to view their emotions as having everything to do with how they maneuver through their lives. She brings all her experiences, storytelling talent, and vibrant personality to the stage as an international inspirational speaker, consultant to managers and team leaders, and speaker coach for TEDx and private clients.

Three Key Points:
There are many things that have happened in our lives that have resulted in emotions that we have stuffed or hidden from ourselves and others. We have either surpassed them, hidden them just below the surface, or we repressed them, buried them so deep we don’t remember they are there.
These emotions are usually guilt and shame. We believe that we did something wrong or that there is something wrong with us. We become imprisoned by these feelings.
When we allow ourselves to uncover the stories and find the meanings in them, we can begin see and share the truth with ourselves and then with others. We set our selves are and help them find their own personal freedom.
