What if the very thing you've been holding back - your voice - is actually the key to your healing?

This week on the podcast, I sit down with vocal alchemist and teacher Maryn Azoff to explore the incredible healing power of sound, chanting, and expression. Maryn’s Vocal Transformation Method helps people reclaim their voice - not just to speak, but to feel, heal, and connect.

We talk about voice blocks, body memory, and even the parts of sound that make us squirm (hello sensual sound 👀). And yep…I was left speechless multiple times. On a podcast. About voice. 😂

This episode made me wish I’d started this work years ago - and now I’m inviting you into it too.

We talk about his sacred mentorship with the Yavapai tribe, how the body holds wisdom, the truth about our inner “parts,” and what it really takes to come home to yourself.
