    Why Does Everyone Hate Phone Calls Now?

    When did a phone call become an emergency? There was a time when we happily spent hours talking on the phone. Now, an unexpected call feels suspicious, a random "Hi." text feels like emotional hostage-taking, and voice notes somehow became longer than the conversations they replaced. In this episode of This Is My Voice, I explore the wonderfully ridiculous ways we've changed how we communicate. Are we actually communicating more, or are we simply contacting each other more?

    These Silent Things

    Sometimes the hardest part of returning isn't finding the words, but believing you need to explain why you were gone in the first place. After two months away, this episode isn't about my absence as much as it is about returning. We live in a culture that expects constant visibility, where every disappearance demands an explanation. But perhaps not every season owes the world that. This is a reflection on privacy, interruption, and the courage of simply beginning again.

    You Don't Have To Explain Your No

    Have you ever said no… and then immediately started explaining yourself? In this episode, I explore the reflex behind over-explaining. The way a simple decision can begin to feel incomplete unless it is justified, softened, or made acceptable to someone else.

    Bandwidth

    In this episode, I talk about bandwidth, the limit we all have but rarely respect. The way work, creative commitments, relationships, responsibilities, and life itself compete for space. The way plans fall apart, not because we failed, but because reality rearranged itself. This is a reflection on exhaustion, recalibration, and the need to pause when we need it.

    The Fear Behind Being Easy

    Welcome back to This Is My Voice. We’re starting 2026 with a question that doesn’t get asked enough. Why is being “easy” so often mistaken for being kind, respectful, or mature? In this episode, I talk about the fear that hides behind being agreeable, flexible, and endlessly accommodating. This episode is about noticing when ease is coming from fear rather than choice.

    A Pause, A Thank You, and A Look Ahead

    As the year winds down, This Is My Voice is stepping back to make space for rest, family, and the quieter moments that matter most once work finally frees us. In this short year-end reflection, I want to say thank you for listening, for sharing, and for sitting with the conversations we had this year. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, another holiday, or simply the closing of the year, I wish you warmth, rest, and meaningful connection. And as we look ahead, I’m wishing you a peaceful close to this year and a hopeful start to the next. There will be no new episodes airing until 2026, making this a perfect time to revisit past episodes, sometimes they land differently when you listen again. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and a very happy new year in advance.

    Find Your Voice Series — Relaunch Episode

    We’re bringing back the Find Your Voice Series, and this time, it’s clearer, and far more forthright than it was five years ago. In this episode, we break down the harsh reality most people pleasers never want to say out loud: that people pleasing isn’t kindness, but fear. And underneath that fear is a silent attempt to control how people see you, how they respond to you, and whether they stay. This conversation is about the emotional survival strategy behind being “the nice one,” the exhaustion that comes with constantly managing other people’s comfort, and the quiet manipulation that hides behind self-sacrifice. If you’ve ever found yourself shrinking to avoid conflict, apologizing for existing, or performing calm so no one gets upset with you, this episode opens the door to discussing and overcoming it. The Find Your Voice Series is officially back, and we’re starting at the top.

    The Peace You Pay For

    Choosing peace sounds admirable… until you start realizing how often that “peace” is really silence, self-erasure, or emotional distancing disguised as maturity. In this episode of This Is My Voice, Lora Tia explores the cost of choosing calm at the expense of authenticity. From swallowing your feelings to shrinking your voice in the name of avoiding conflict, this conversation goes deep into the difference between genuine peace and the version of calm that slowly turns into isolation. If you’ve ever felt yourself drifting away from your own truth because speaking up felt too cumbersome, this episode offers clarity, honesty, and a reminder that peace shouldn’t require you to disappear.
