In this episode of The Gilded Leaf Chakra Series, we arrive at the throat — the place where truth travels from the chest to the lips.

Over a cup of peppermint and a warm throat blend, I trace the long path of finding my voice: from growing up the youngest in a house of writers, to swallowed words and over-explaining, to the quieter power of speaking honestly without abandoning herself.

Together we explore what it looks like when the throat finally feels safe enough to open — where boundaries are clear, the nervous system is more settled, and your words and your worth stand on the same side.

Steep something warm. This one is for every truth still waiting to be spoken. 🌿
