About Unspoken

There are some experiences that live in the body long after words fail. This podcast is for those stories. Unspoken is a raw, unfiltered exploration of trauma, survival, and the weight of what we carry. Through spoken word poetry, I give voice to the things often left unsaid—childhood wounds, mental illness, the scars of nursing, and the vicarious trauma that lingers long after we leave the bedside. These are not easy stories. But they are real. And if you’ve ever felt like no one understands, I hope you find something here that makes you feel less alone.

   The Terms of My Disappearance: A Spoken Word Poem About Betrayal, Illness & Being ‘Too Much’

   What happens when the only way to be loved is to disappear? This spoken word performance dives into trauma, chronic illness, and the cost of staying in relationships that require silence and self-erasure. “The Terms of My Disappearance” is a poem about betrayal, survival, and the moment you choose to remain visible, even if it means losing someone. This piece speaks to anyone who has been called “too much,” struggled with invisible illness, or felt the pain of conditional love.

   Humiliation Ritual: When Silence Becomes Violence

   Humiliation Ritual is a spoken word poem about silence, rupture, and the moment suffering becomes impossible to ignore. The poem unfolds in a hallway outside a closed door. Inside, conversation continues. Laughter moves easily between people. Outside, someone is calling for help. But the door does not open. Through the imagery of fire slowly filling a hallway, this piece explores a familiar pattern in trauma and power dynamics: people often do not respond to suffering itself. They respond when that suffering begins to disturb their comfort. When the smoke reaches the keyhole. When silence is no longer easy to maintain. Humiliation Ritual examines how blame is often redistributed after the fact, and how shame is placed exactly where anger should have stood. This spoken word piece is part of the Unspoken podcast, a series exploring trauma, rupture, accountability, and the language we use to describe harm.

   Two Floors: The Distance Between Survival and Silence

   Two Floors is a spoken word poem about the distance between survival and indifference. While voices and laughter carry easily through the floorboards above, someone lies below—waiting, fading, listening to a world that continues without them. With quiet intensity and vivid imagery, Kate explores the terrifying closeness of help that never comes, and the moment when the space between two floors becomes the space between life and being forgotten.
