On The Same Paige with Paige Leacey

E24. What Your Voice Reveals About How You Trust Yourself


Listen Later

Madeleine Monacelli is a holistic vocal coach and (incredible) singer who supports people to work with their voice as a tool for expression, regulation, and emotional processing. Her work draws on singing, sound, nervous system awareness, and embodied practice, with a particular focus on releasing perfectionism, self-monitoring, and fear held in the body.


I invited Maddy onto the podcast to explore the relationship between voice, self-worth, and the pressure many women carry to perform rather than express. Our conversation moved fluidly between her work as a performer and facilitator, and each of our personal experiences of holding back, overthinking, and struggling to advocate for ourselves in moments that mattered.


In this episode, we explore self-judgment, people-pleasing, and how these patterns shape pleasure and intimacy; the connection between the jaw, throat, and pelvis, singing as a pathway for emotional release, and what it looks like to use the voice - literally and relationally - with more honesty but less rigid control.
