In this episode, Kate shares a hauntingly intimate spoken word piece about trauma, survival, and the terrifying beauty of coming back to life. “The Girl Beneath the Ice” explores the body’s quiet genius in the face of danger, and the disorienting process of unthawing — when the world starts to feel again, and every breath becomes both a risk and a reclamation. This poem is a reflection on dissociation, somatic memory, and the moments that make us wonder: Am I healing, or am I haunted?
