Listen "Drama. Poetry and Other Crimes of Expression "
Episode Synopsis
This one’s for the women who don’t press the call button even when they think they might be dying. The ones who’ve been told they're too much for having feelings and not enough for needing help. The ones who apologise for crying, for asking questions, for needing an extra pillow in a hospital bed. If that’s you—welcome. This is your episode.In this first solo episode of Unmuted, I talk about being the quiet girl. The compliant girl. The “good girl” who internalised so many rules about what not to say, she forgot how to say anything at all. I unpack the ridiculous expectations of being pleasant, low-maintenance, and quiet—even when everything inside you is screaming.This is a messy, honest ramble about what happens when you stop swallowing your voice and start using it. I talk about learning to advocate for myself, discovering expression through poetry, and why I started this podcast—not because I love the sound of my voice, but because I’m finally ready to use it without shame.If you’ve ever been told you were dramatic for telling the truth, or if you’ve ever tried to be so “easy to handle” you disappeared entirely, this one’s for you. No more shrinking. No more softening the edges.
