Description
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.
