CAN YOU STAY IN IT LONG ENOUGH TO TASTE IT?
What A Savory Fucking Sunday Well. I enjoyed my time writing about this moment so deeply that I started recording myself yapping more of the same and accidentally made a mini podcast episode. And apparently I was so darn present that I failed to notice my phone was at 1%. It died. While saving…

Before You Spiral, Draw a Circle
One weird text. One strange tone. One conversation that lands funny. And suddenly your brain has opened an investigation, hired a staff, and decided every fear, assumption, possibility, and old story deserves the same little name tag: FACT. In this episode of The Village Voice, I’m talking about...

Your Voice Still Matters Before You Have the Answers
Sometimes life expands in one direction while cracking open in another. You can be proud of what you’re building, excited about what’s coming, and still feel like your favorite pair of socks just stepped directly into a raw egg on the kitchen floor. That’s the metronome. Joy and grief. Momentum…

Find Your Fucking Giggle Again
I disappeared for a minute because, honestly?I’ve been pissed off. Not in a dramatic “burn my life down” kind of way. More like… disappointed. Tired. Watching people slowly lose their ability to hold nuance, humor, softness, contradiction … all of it. Everybody’s either performing enlightenment…

You Don’t Fear Failure.
Can we call it for what it is? Let’s talk about the fallacy we keep lying about… that “fear of failure… “ “I’d try the thing but I’m scared of failing.” “I’m just a perfectionist.” “Maybe later.” Sounds reasonable. Polite. But we are old enough and getting better at having real convos so I’m...

Is the Loudest Voice in Your Head a Hater?
Here’s the truth: That critical voice? It’s not you. It’s an impersonator you’ve listened to for so long that it started sounding real.

Silence Isn’t Disappearing
Presence isn’t the same as connection. I reread an old essay called You Forgot About Me. It’s about the quiet moment when your life clears its throat and reminds you that you’ve been living in the glow too long. Not burnout. Not disappearing. Just recalibrating. Silence isn’t a threat. Sometimes...

The Violence I Carried was Never Mine
The Violence I Carried Was Never Mine is a reflection on surviving childhood abuse, the invisible inheritance of an abuser’s voice, and the quiet, unglamorous courage it takes to unlearn what was never yours to hold. This is not a story about rage or revenge. It’s about recognizing how survival...

Radical Curiosity Can Break Emotional Spirals
This episode is a real time riff on radical curiosity. Not the polished, self help kind. The kind you actually reach for when you’re spiraling, overthinking, or stuck in the same damn conversations with the people you love. We start with the question most of us avoid: What if you’re wrong? What…

What if Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat … ?
I want to talk about radical curiosity. Not the cute, casual kind. Not “huh, that’s interesting.” I mean the kind where you’re almost excited to be wrong. Because being wrong isn’t a failure. It’s proof that your world just got bigger. This is the Village Voice. I’m Alli Gatlin — your Menace of...
