What If Your Voice Is The Work You’re Here To Do? | Episode 405 What keeps you waking up with a microphone in front of you and a story still on your tongue?

How Fixing My Teeth Lightened My Mental Load | Ep 403

How Fixing My Teeth Lightened My Mental Load | Ep 403 A simple, visible change can loosen a heavy mental load. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation as we open up about finishing adult braces, why a “cosmetic” decision wasn’t vanity at all, and how incremental progress restored confidence one tray at a time. We trace the arc from childhood brackets and outdated retainer advice to the slow, decades‑long relapse that quietly shaped self‑image, social habits, and mental health. If you’ve eve...

Finding Your Voice When No One Listens | Ep 402

Finding Your Voice When No One Listens | Ep 402 Ever felt like you’re shouting into a void while everyone nods and moves on? We sit with that ache—being left out, pushed around, and told to smile—and turn it into plain words, practical tools, and a path toward feeling seen. This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a map for when the floor feels unsteady and the room feels too loud. We unpack the hidden ways people cope when everything feels wrong: blasting music to drown the noise, withdrawing to avoid m...

How Voices For Voices Plans To Protect Kids From Harmful EdTech And Polarizing Content | Episode 401 The milestone feels big—400+ episodes and listeners in 100+ countries—but what we talk about today is bigger: protecting kids from the worst parts of the digital world sneaking into classrooms.

This isn’t a victory lap; it’s a field report from a team that chose calling over comfort and service over metrics. We talk candidly about stigma and the price of candor. When a platform g...
