This is gorgeous. “Does it sit in my throat, tightening around the words I swallowed so I would not make others uncomfortable?” I feel this in my soul. When I was diagnosed with a thyroid issue during my 4th pregnancy… THIS was the first thought that crossed my mind. All the times I had “choked” down something to keep the peace to keep things smooth. I’ve worked very hard to speak my truth… I speak carefully (most of the time) but I no longer speak to smooth or keep the peace. I’m very aware of when interactions or circumstances make my throat feel tight. I also feel it in the soles of my feet. I’m a Pisces so maybe it’s appropriate… the body telling me I feel that I feel I’m standing on “uncertain” ground. I love the image of breathing energy into these areas, thanking them for protecting me, while also asserting that we are not in that space anymore. I have the right to speak and to stand. I am whole and I am enough. ❤️

My fierceness lol
