There are some experiences that live in the body long after words fail. This podcast is for those stories. Unspoken is a raw, unfiltered exploration of trauma, survival, and the weight of what we carry. Through spoken word poetry, I give voice to the things often left unsaid—childhood wounds, mental illness, the scars of nursing, and the vicarious trauma that lingers long after we leave the bedside. These are not easy stories. But they are real. And if you’ve ever felt like no one understands, I hope you find something here that makes you feel less alone.

Apocalypse Fatigue: Scrolling Past Genocide

In this episode of Unspoken, Kate performs “Apocalypse Fatigue”—a spoken word piece confronting the privilege of disengagement in the face of ongoing genocide in Gaza.

While children burn and mothers scream through rubble, much of the world scrolls past, citing “apocalypse fatigue.” This poem explores the emotional distance of comfort, the dilution of empathy in the digital age, and the chilling normalization of violence through screens and silence.

Themes include: genocide in Gaza, social media apathy, emotional numbness, second-person poetry, and moral responsibility.

If you’ve ever said “I just can’t look,” this episode asks—what does that cost someone else?
