From Silence to Sound: Finding Your Wild Voice

Send Lauri a messageTherapist and nature-based guide Laura Rose shares how an early love of reading aloud and debate gave way to silence after bullying—then slowly blossomed into a wilder, truer voice through chanting, song circles, land stewardship, and community. We explore why language can’t carry all meaning, how sound opens the door, and what shifts when we replace “fit in” with “belong.” If you’re craving permission to express—beyond the rules and into resonance—this conversation will meet you where words begin: in the living pulse beneath them.Takeaways1. Your voice often begins before language—in vibration, breath, and sound.2. High school “fit in” culture can mute authenticity; healing happens in circles that welcome the whole self.3. Safety strategies (be quiet, take cues, perform “good”) work… until they don’t.4. Sounding and singing can heal the split between voice and soul.5. “Presence begins where primal and purpose meet”—and it can take years to find simple, true language for what you know.6. Nature mirrors our freedom—the wild yard thrives, the manicured one conforms.7. Speaking your truth gives others permission to find theirs—liberation is contagious.​ Soul Sucker QuizTake the Soul Sucker Quiz to learn which Soul Sucker screams the loudest in your mind so you can release them from being in charge and set your voice free!https://voice-matters.com/soul-sucker-quiz/ Support the showThank you so much for listening!Take the free Speaker Alter Ego Quiz to find out which protective mask is hiding your wild, untamed radiance. https://voice-matters.com/speaker-alter-ego-quiz/Follow me on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/voice_matters_llc/Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauri-smith-voice-matters/YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/@voicematters9646
