What do you do when life keeps telling you to shut up?
In this soul-baring episode, I open up about how my voice has been under attack—not just recently, but for decades. From childhood trauma, to toxic relationships, to being silenced in religious spaces, to now facing physical issues with my thyroid and vocal strain—this journey has been layered.
I share how I was told to be quiet, to tone it down, to play small… even threatened legally for telling my own story. But no more.
This episode is about reclaiming your voice. It’s for the woman who’s been told she’s too loud, too much, too emotional, too different. It’s for the woman who has something to say, but life—or people—kept pressing mute.
Your voice has power. And this is your reminder: you don’t have to shut up to keep the peace.

Call to Action:
Where did you last silence yourself? And what would happen if you gave that version of you permission to speak again?
