Our body already knows how to make powerful sound—it just needs permission to feel. This episode explores the emotional physiology of the voice, revealing how emotion creates vocal technique naturally, not the other way around. The mechanics are the result, not the root.
Chelsea shares the story of breaking silence about someone who had power over her—and the moment in her car afterward when everything she'd been holding in broke free through her voice. In that moment of complete emotional release, she felt every muscle working to carry her sound, revealing a depth her voice had never felt before. Through learning from her Balinese teacher Bu Candri and recording her first album, we discover where the real blocks live: not in our throat, but in our relationship to feeling. When we reconnect with embodied memory and let authentic emotion move through sound, our body does what it already knows how to do.
