'Audible Digestion' — the mind metabolising emotion the way the body digests food.

Don't you love it when modern scientific research proves what we've been saying and known for eons! The researcher found that when people voiced their thoughts, their stress hormones decreased by 35%. 😳

This new research shows that speaking our stress out loud isn’t just emotional relief — it’s biological regulation.

People who suppress emotion and “hold it together” tend to carry higher cortisol and greater immune suppression. One researcher described unexpressed emotion as “a toxin the body cannot eliminate.”

When we give stress a voice, the nervous system responds.
Sound stimulates the vagus nerve.
The body receives the message: you are not under attack.

In one study, participants who narrated their stress out loud showed reduced inflammation within a week. A scientist called this “audible digestion” — the mind metabolising emotion the way the body digests food.

Voice isn’t weakness.
Silence isn’t strength.

Your body needs sound to complete the healing cycle.

On my podcast Toxic Silence, we explore how to use your voice as medicine — and how to gently unwind the scars the body carries from silence.

NEW EP': HUMAN DESIGN AND GENE KEYS.
What if nothing about you is broken — only misunderstood?

In this powerful episode of Toxic Silence, I sit down with Emma Dunwoody - Emma is an Human Design expert and host of the globally recognised Human Design Podcast, to talk about the patterns that shape our lives — and how they can become portals back to our true nature.

We explore Human Design and the Gene Keys not as abstract systems, but as living maps for emotional healing, aligned decision-making, and embodied self-trust.

This conversation goes beyond self-improvement.
It’s about shedding conditioning, reclaiming your inner authority, and remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. Who's up for that? I know I am...
I hope you enjoy this last episode of for the year, and Season.
I'll be recording (and filming going forward) Season 3 from January '26.

🌿 NEW EPISODE — Toxic Silence 🎙️Season 2 Episodes 12.

'Your Heart Has Taste Buds' (and Your Tongue Has Been Speaking Its Truth All Along)

In this episode, we explore one of the most surprising relationships in the body:
✨ the energetic connection between the Heart and the tongue.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Heart opens to the tongue — shaping how we speak, what we express, and how our Shen (spirit) shines through.
And modern science is finally catching up: it's been recently discovered that nearly half of the body’s bitter taste receptors aren’t on the tongue…but on the human heart. 😳

Together we dive into:
💔 Why bitter is the flavour of the Heart
👅 How the tongue reveals the emotional state of the Shen
🔊 How grief, joy, anxiety & suppression change our voice
🩶 Why patients are stunned when they realise their tongue has been telling their heart’s story
🧬 How modern genetics is validating ancient Chinese wisdom

This conversation bridges lineage and science to reveal something profound:
your Heart has been speaking through your tongue all along.

My guest is Dr. Maz Roginski — Doctor of Chinese Medicine and expert in Qi, the life-force energy that animates every system of the body. With 13 years of clinical experience and her own healing journey as lived proof, Maz guides people back to vitality, resilience and inner aliveness through precise, embodied Qi rituals. .qi

✨ New Episode Out Now — 'The Original You: Trauma Healing & De-conditioning Through Hypnotherapy.'

Today’s episode dives into a modality that’s been misunderstood for centuries — yet has the power to gently transform the patterns we’ve carried for far too long.
Hypnotherapy isn’t about losing control. It’s about reclaiming it.

We explore its ancient roots, its modern neuroscience, and how this deeply restorative state helps us access the subconscious — the place where trauma, conditioning and old narratives quietly shape our lives.

If you’re seeking nervous system repair, emotional rewiring, or a pathway back to your original, unconditioned self… this one’s for you.

Featuring trauma-informed hypnotherapist Lucas Olmos of

✨ NEW PODCAST EPISODE LIVE TODAY ✨

'Mantra as Medicine for the Voice' with the soulful Carmella Baynie.

Carmella and I explore the healing power of , and sound as potent medicine.

We journey into the ancient roots of mantra — born from the Vedic traditions of India, carried through centuries of devotion, meditation, and sacred sound.

We speak about kirtan, the call-and-response practice that has been used for millennia to regulate the nervous system, uplift communities, and dissolve the ego into something larger, softer, and more true.

Your voice is not just a sound — it’s an entry point into the subtle body, the psyche, and the spirit.

🎙️ In this episode we explore:

• Why mantra regulates the body and rewires the mind
• How sound dissolves trauma held in the throat and chest
• The ancient origins of mantra & kirtan, and why they still heal today
• Voice as vibrational medicine for clearing emotional residue
• Carmella’s beautiful, embodied wisdom on vocal liberation

This is a tender, powerful, heart-opening conversation — perfect for anyone wanting to reconnect to their own voice, truth, and the lineage of sacred sound.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

May it bring softness to your throat, clarity to your mind, and courage to your voice. 💙✨ #

In this episode of Toxic Silence, I'm exploring the body’s most ancient language — the quiet gestures, shapes, and through which emotion speaks when words fall away.

When we shape our hands into a when we sit and breathe into a posture, we’re not forcing anything open. We’re creating space — a quiet invitation for energy to circulate again, for emotion to move, for life to return to the places that have gone numb.

This is the essence of of Mudra, of movement as medicine: the understanding that the divine is not something we must reach for, but something we remember through the body.

My guest today is Rachel Zinman an internationally renowned yoga teacher, author, and musician based in Byron Bay. With over 35 years of teaching experience. Rachel’s love of mudras — sacred gestures that restore balance and calm — infuses her work with depth, stillness, and grace.

I hope you enjoy this one...
