There are things the body remembers—

long after the moment has passed.

Not in words,

but in tension…

in silence…

in what was never allowed to be said.

In this episode of Backbone, I share a spoken word piece titled “The Body Kept It”—inspired by sitting with the feeling of rage and noticing how it lives in the body when it isn’t expressed.

This isn’t about the loud, explosive kind of anger.

It’s about the quiet kind—

the kind you feel rise… and learn to move away from.

The kind that gets swallowed.

Redirected.

Stored in the body.

This piece explores:

suppressed emotions and unexpressed rage

somatic memory and where feelings live in the body

the moment we learn not to say what we feel

and how rage can become a signal—not something to fear, but something to listen to

If you’ve ever felt something deeply… and didn’t say it—

this piece will meet you there.

🎧 Best experienced with headphones. Take your time with it.

This spoken word piece explores the moment of waking up to inherited patterns of obedience—and choosing something different.

Through breath, body awareness, and reflection, this episode moves through grief, ancestral memory, and the quiet realization that waiting for permission is often something we were taught… not something we chose.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been holding back, shrinking, or waiting for the right moment to fully be yourself, this is an invitation back into your body—and into your sovereignty.

This is about:

– releasing inherited emotional patterns

– honoring the body’s memory

– moving beyond people-pleasing and silence

– reclaiming your voice without needing approval

Take a breath.

Let your body listen.

This is a spoken word piece about holding too much for too long.

It moves through the experience of being the one who carries, fixes, and feels everything… and what happens when the body finally begins to release it.

This piece is called Eldest Daughter, but it’s for anyone learning to come back to themselves.

Take what you need.

Let the rest fall away.
