In Episode 1 of Season 2, host J. Rycheal addresses the issue of self-silencing rooted in their upbringing and societal pressures, particularly from the Southern Black community's emphasis on being less noticeable for safety. They discuss their struggle with major throat chakra blockages as symbols of their challenges in self-expression and vocalization. Reflecting on the damaging childhood message that "little girls should be seen and not heard," J. Rycheal explores how this belief stifled their ability to communicate needs and led to unhealthy relational patterns. By embracing their role as a messenger and working to reclaim their voice, they invite listeners to a season focused on open communication, self-trust, and the journey to vocal liberation, encouraging a deep dive into personal and ancestral stories.
