Let Her Speak: What Happens When We Finally Tell the Truth

For a while, I thought I was healing.I was doing the work — or at least, I thought I was.

I read the books.I took the space.I cried the tears.

But the truth?I was only healing what felt safe to heal.I was only speaking what felt palatable enough to say out loud.

It wasn’t until I met him —the one who brought redemption wrapped in real, unconditional love —that I realized how much I’d been holding back.

Because love that sees you?It will show you what you’re still hiding from.

I had to face myself in a way I never had.Not the version of me that had been left or hurt —but the version who had played a part, too.

The truth was:I wasn’t perfect.I hadn’t taken accountability.I hadn’t truly understood what love meant — or what it required.

My trauma wasn’t solely the result of someone else’s actions.It was the weight of a thousand quiet choices, unloved parts, and unmet truthsstacked on top of each other, until I no longer recognized the woman underneath.

And for the first time,I spoke the truth —to him, yes.But more importantly, to myself.

And everything changed.

“The freedom that comes after the fear…The veil that lifts over the fog…The beauty that grows out of the muck…”

When a woman tells the truth —I mean, really tells the truth —everything shifts.

Her voice cracks.Her eyes well.Her hands shake.And then…

She rises.

It’s like watching color return to a black-and-white painting.It’s like watching the light remember where to shine.

When a woman speaks her truth, her frequency changes. I’ve seen it. I feel it.I swear, I can almost see the energy rise from her skin.

And I wish I could show you —what’s on the other side of that moment.The release.The peace.The soft clarity that comes from no longer hiding.

But I know words can only take you so far.No one could have described it to me either.

It’s hard to trust what you can’t imagine.It’s hard to move toward something you’ve never seen.Which is why we sit in the scary for far too long.

But maybe this is what I can give you:

You are not the only one.You are not too much.And your truth is not dangerous.It is divine.

Let her speak.Let you speak.Even if the voice trembles.Even if the truth hurts.

You’re not breaking anything.You’re freeing everything.
