If you’ve ever felt like you lost your voice—or couldn’t quite find it to begin with—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, Krista sits down with award-winning spoken word artist and bestselling author IN-Q to explore what it really means to find your voice and the humble process of getting there.

You’ll learn how poetry and the spoken word can be a tool for healing, why most of us struggle to express ourselves creatively, and how the simple act of saying the thing you’re afraid to say can be the key to confidence and connection.

Through personal stories, poetic wisdom, and psychological insight, this episode invites you to turn inward, ask better questions, and uncover what you’ve been holding in.

Patrycja Slawuta, Ph.D., has spent a lifetime studying what most of us spend our lives trying not to touch — shame. As a behavior scientist and expert in collective shame, her work explores the holy trinity of taboo — shame, secrecy, and silence — and how invisible shame shapes every part of our lives, from family systems to finances. In part two of this conversation, we move beyond financial shame into the deeper architecture of human belonging: we explore the roots of shame, its silent inheritance, and how it fractures our sense of self long before we find the language to name it. We talk about how shame shapes belonging, morality, and the stories we tell — or never tell — about who we are.

Together we explore how hope is born from adversity, why vulnerability is the beginning of true power, and what it really means to live a life of nothing left unsaid.

Patrycja Slawuta, Ph.D., has spent a lifetime studying what most of us spend our lives trying not to touch — shame. As a behavior scientist and expert in collective shame, her work explores the holy trinity of taboo — shame, secrecy, and silence — and how invisible shame shapes every part of our lives, including one of its most taboo arenas: money. In part one of this two-part conversation, we follow the thread of shame into our financial lives — how money becomes a silent biography, shaped by unspoken rules, intergenerational scars, and the stories we tell (or never tell) about what we deserve. At its heart, this episode asks: how do we unlearn the shame we inherited around wealth, work, and worth — and what new story might we write if we could?
