#306 WHEN YOUR BODY SENDS A WAKE UP CALL…Losing My Voice, 1 Year Recovery

 

What happens when you lose your voice — not just for a day, but for months?

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my one year update on a journey through muscular tension dysphonia, a condition that silenced me (yes, completely!) and forced me to face stress, identity, and balance in a whole new way.

This is not just a story about losing your voice — it's about what happens when your body finally says: Enough.

If you've ever felt like you're carrying too much — stress in your body, fear in your mind, or the weight of "what if I never get better?" — this episode is for you.

 

💡 Here's what we explore:

• The surprising mind-body link between stress and your voice — and what it taught me about listening to my body before it shouts.
  
  
• Why 'finding your voice' isn't just a metaphor — it's a daily, physical reality, and how I learned to nurture it back.
  
  
• Lessons from stillness: How losing my voice forced me to rethink success, slow down, and separate my worth from my work.

Leave this episode with new ways to manage stress, protect your health, and rethink what it means to truly listen to your body.
