In this episode of Unspoken, Kate performs her original poem “Ungovernable”: a fierce, tender exploration of what healing really feels like for anyone who’s had to make themselves small to survive.

This spoken word piece challenges the myth that healing is always soft, gentle, or palatable. Instead, Kate asks:

What if healing makes you louder, clearer, and harder to control?

Blending personal truth with poetic fire, Ungovernable is a reclamation of voice, boundaries, rage, and sovereignty.

For anyone unlearning politeness as a survival strategy — this one’s for you.
