Send us a text How do we work with something we can't see? An instrument that starts deep inside before it becomes sound? In this episode, we're exploring the science of metaphor—why imagining a fishing rod or a dam or a beach ball can create immediate shifts in our voice without conscious effort. We learn about the research behind the ideomotor effect and mirror neurons, showing how metaphor speaks directly to our body's involuntary systems and activates pre-existing patterns it already unde...

4. Following the Breadcrumbs: the intersection of voice and truth

Send us a text We've been conditioned to believe that truth requires external validation—academic credentials, citations, someone else's authority. But oral tradition has been humanity's primary way of passing down knowledge for millennia, and by devaluing it, we've lost our ability to know and trust ourselves. We explore what's at stake when we're taught that our experience, our feelings, our inner knowing aren't valid forms of wisdom. We discover why our inner voice directly informs our out...

5. Your Voice Already Knows: emotion at the root of all vocal technique

Send us a text Our body already knows how to make powerful sound—it just needs permission to feel. This episode explores the emotional physiology of the voice, revealing how emotion creates vocal technique naturally, not the other way around. The mechanics are the result, not the root. Chelsea shares the story of breaking silence about someone who had power over her—and the moment in her car afterward when everything she'd been holding in broke free through her voice. In that moment of comple...

3. Building a Blanket Fort for Your Voice: the sanctuary your voice needs

Send us a text At her first voice lesson, Chelsea arrived with years of training but couldn't make a sound when asked to sing. Her body had learned that it wasn't safe to be heard. We hear how childhood abuse in the recording studio led to a decade of hiding her voice—and what it took to find her way back. This episode invites us to explore what safety actually means for voice. It's not just about finding the right room or the right people—it's about understanding that our voice is tender, fr...

1. Space Suits and Sunburns: on finding your voice

Send us a text This episode shares stories of being silenced—moments that teach us to hide, to shrink, to protect ourselves by closing off our voice. These experiences, both big and small, don't just live in our memories. They live in our bodies, literally shaping how we sound by affecting our breath, our throat, our entire vocal mechanism. We explore what happens when we separate from our sound and lose awareness of a tangible part of ourselves. Through the metaphor of taking off a space sui...

2. The Weight of Being Heard: a practice of trusting yourself

Send us a text Is that your brain? Your heart? Your gut? Your anxiety? That voice from your past? Our conditioning creates a cacophony of internalized voices, and learning to identify which one is actually ours becomes essential work. We explore what happens when we can't distinguish our own knowing from the chorus of inherited opinions—how small decisions based on others' guidance create direction-altering changes over time, steering us thousands of miles from where we were meant to land. We...

Welcome to The Wisdom of the Voice

Send us a text Your voice carries everything you are—your truth, your emotions, your essence. And yet most of us have been taught to hold it back. To soften it. Make it more palatable. So we edit ourselves. We shape ourselves to fit. We start to hide the very part of us that makes us who we are. And when we hide our voice, we don't just lose sound—we lose access to ourselves. Small moments of being told we're too much, too open, too deep accumulate in our bodies, literally shaping how we bre...
