Why Does Everyone Hate Phone Calls Now?
When did a phone call become an emergency? There was a time when we happily spent hours talking on the phone. Now, an unexpected call feels suspicious, a random "Hi." text feels like emotional hostage-taking, and voice notes somehow became longer than the conversations they replaced. In this...

These Silent Things
Sometimes the hardest part of returning isn't finding the words, but believing you need to explain why you were gone in the first place. After two months away, this episode isn't about my absence as much as it is about returning. We live in a culture that expects constant visibility, where every...
-
You Don't Have To Explain Your No
Have you ever said no… and then immediately started explaining yourself? In this episode, I explore the reflex behind over-explaining. The way a simple decision can begin to feel incomplete unless it is justified, softened, or made acceptable to someone else.
-
Bandwidth
In this episode, I talk about bandwidth, the limit we all have but rarely respect. The way work, creative commitments, relationships, responsibilities, and life itself compete for space. The way plans fall apart, not because we failed, but because reality rearranged itself. This is a reflection…

The Fear Behind Being Easy
Welcome back to This Is My Voice. We’re starting 2026 with a question that doesn’t get asked enough. Why is being “easy” so often mistaken for being kind, respectful, or mature? In this episode, I talk about the fear that hides behind being agreeable, flexible, and endlessly accommodating. This...

A Pause, A Thank You, and A Look Ahead
As the year winds down, This Is My Voice is stepping back to make space for rest, family, and the quieter moments that matter most once work finally frees us. In this short year-end reflection, I want to say thank you for listening, for sharing, and for sitting with the conversations we had this...

Find Your Voice Series — Relaunch Episode
We’re bringing back the Find Your Voice Series, and this time, it’s clearer, and far more forthright than it was five years ago. In this episode, we break down the harsh reality most people pleasers never want to say out loud: that people pleasing isn’t kindness, but fear. And underneath that…

The Peace You Pay For
Choosing peace sounds admirable… until you start realizing how often that “peace” is really silence, self-erasure, or emotional distancing disguised as maturity. In this episode of This Is My Voice, Lora Tia explores the cost of choosing calm at the expense of authenticity. From swallowing your...

Comfortable Complacency: When Settling Feels Safer Than Striving
Ever caught yourself saying, “I’m fine” when you know you’re just… stuck? Yeah, this one’s for you. In this episode of This Is My Voice, we’re talking about that quiet trap so many of us fall into; comfortable complacency. The space between “I’m okay with this” and “I stopped trying a while ago.”...
-
We Don’t Know How to Argue Anymore
When did every disagreement turn into a declaration of war? Somewhere between “I see it differently” and “you’re cancelled,” we lost the art of having actual conversations. In this episode, I’m breaking down why we’ve collectively forgotten how to argue like grown-ups. From algorithm-fuelled...
-
A Little Breathing Room
This week’s episode is short, simple, and from the heart. This Is My Voice is shifting fully to a bi-weekly schedule. In this mini catch-up, I share why this new rhythm matters, how slowing down actually strengthens creativity, and why rest isn’t the absence of momentum, but what keeps it alive....
-
Reality Check
We’ve all been there: scrolling through someone else’s big moment and suddenly feeling like our own lives are behind schedule. Comparison sneaks in quietly, and it steals our joy, and reality. Together, we’ll break down why comparison is so persuasive, how it tricks us into chasing lives we don’t...
-
Healing Is Not Linear
We like to imagine healing as a straight line; from broken to whole, from pain to peace. But the truth is far less tidy. Healing loops. It gives us good days that feel like progress and hard days that feel like failure. In this episode, I share why backslides don’t erase growth, but are part of…

The Myth of Balance:
We’ve all been told to chase work-life balance. It’s supposed to be the secret to feeling whole, rested, and in control. But what if balance isn’t the answer at all? What if chasing it is the very thing leaving us exhausted and guilty? In this episode, I share why I believe balance is a myth, how...
-
Rest Is a Form of Resistance
You’re not lazy. You’re tired. And no, they are not the same thing. In this episode of This Is My Voice, Lora Tia serves a hot and honest, truth: rest is more than self-care; it’s rebellion. Especially in a world that worships burnout and applauds over-functioning. Listen now and share it with...

Being the Strong One
Who checks in on the person who checks on everyone else? In this heartfelt episode, Lora Tia unpacks the emotional cost of being “the strong one”—the fixer, the listener, the safe space. The one who’s always there for others, even when no one asks how they're really doing. From childhood patterns...
-
Reclaiming Boyhood
We begin our refreshed season with a powerful conversation about how society suppresses the emotional lives of boys. What does it mean to “emasculate” a child, and what are the lifelong consequences of silencing sensitivity in young men? In this deeply reflective episode, Lora Tia unpacks how...

I Am Not Going Anywhere
Ever had one of those, 'I ain't going anywhere. I'm getting this' moments? On this episode, we discuss this pivotal point in our lives. That eureka moment that fuels us to stand our ground in the face of the storm and tighten our grip on the steering wheel. To share your thoughts, questions and...
