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.

Ungovernable: When Healing Doesn’t Make You Softer

In this episode of Unspoken, Kate performs her original poem “Ungovernable”: a fierce, tender exploration of what healing really feels like for anyone who’s had to make themselves small to survive.

This spoken word piece challenges the myth that healing is always soft, gentle, or palatable. Instead, Kate asks:

What if healing makes you louder, clearer, and harder to control?

Blending personal truth with poetic fire, Ungovernable is a reclamation of voice, boundaries, rage, and sovereignty.

For anyone unlearning politeness as a survival strategy — this one’s for you.
