A 10-Week Voice & Presence Activation for Young Women Ready to Be Seen.

Before the world teaches them to shrink, let’s teach them how to stand tall in their voice, power, and presence.

Girls are told to be nice. Polite. Likeable.
Before they ever raise their hand, they’re already shrinking.
Reclaim™ for Youth interrupts that pattern.

This isn’t about teaching girls to “speak louder.” It’s about showing them how to own their voice, trust their ideas, and stand in spaces—without apology.

Because if we teach them how to take up space now, they won’t spend decades unlearning how to disappear later.

• Teen girls ages 13–18

• Emerging leaders, changemakers, creatives

• Youth in schools, summer programs, after-school orgs

• Girls who’ve been silenced, overlooked, or underestimated

✔ Tools to speak without self-doubt
✔ Awareness of shrinking patterns—and how to stop them
✔ Confidence that’s embodied, not performed
✔ Presence that commands respect
✔ A voice that doesn’t apologize for existing

This is the adapted version of the original RECLAIM™ method, delivered with care and clarity for the next generation of women leaders.

REVEAL (Weeks 1–3):

We name what’s been stealing their voice—from cultural messaging to classroom dynamics. Girls begin to notice when and where they shrink, and why.

RELEASE (Weeks 4–5):

We interrupt the habits: hedging, apologizing, shrinking, seeking permission. Through bodywork, roleplay, and reflection, they practice something different.

RECLAIM (Weeks 6–8):

They begin standing in their knowing. Speaking from their center. Sharing ideas from a grounded place—not seeking approval, but owning value.

RISE (Weeks 9–10):

The final stretch is where they integrate. This is where they rehearse real-life scenarios, present confidently, and walk into any space knowing they belong.

• Length: 10 Weeks

• Format: In-person or virtual

• Audience: Groups of 10–30 girls

• Delivery: Weekly 60-minute sessions

• Ideal for: Schools, nonprofits, youth orgs, leadership camps

Takenya Freeney is a Voice & Presence Maven and the creator of RECLAIM™ — a transformational framework guiding accomplished women to stop shrinking, start commanding the room, and lead with sovereign authority.

With a background in education, performance, and transformational coaching, Takenya knows what it means to be both brilliant and silenced. She’s taken stages, led rooms, and rebuilt her own voice after years of shrinking to make others comfortable. Now, she helps others do the same — combining deep inner work with practical voice and presence tools that shift how you’re seen, heard, and respected.

Through RECLAIM™, she’s worked with executives, thought leaders, and rising voices who are done dimming their brilliance — and ready to take up space without apology.

Whether coaching a boardroom or mentoring youth, her mission is the same: to help the underestimated lead with the authority they’ve always carried — and never again ask permission to be powerful.

If your students, daughters, or mentees are ready to rise—let’s talk. This program doesn’t just build confidence. It activates brilliance.
