When most people think of self-care, they imagine bubble baths, herbal tea, and an occasional yoga class. But radical self-care goes deeper—it’s about reclaiming your energy, your voice and your inner power.

For years, I silenced myself. I grew up in an environment where speaking up didn’t feel safe, where expressing emotions was discouraged. That fear stayed with me, keeping me stuck in unhealthy relationships, tolerating things I shouldn’t, and feeling small in my own life.

But I discovered something profound—sound, voice, and vibration are not just tools for communication; they are pathways to healing, self-expression, and personal liberation.

What is Radical Self-Care?

Radical self-care is the unapologetic commitment to your own well-being—emotionally, physically, and spiritually - it’s non-negotiable! It’s about recognizing what depletes you, releasing what no longer serves you, and making space for deep healing and transformation.

One of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for radical self-care is your own voice.

Science now confirms what ancient traditions have long known—sound moves through us, shifting energy, restoring balance, and transforming our inner landscape. Cymatics shows us that sound creates visible patterns in matter. Bioacoustics reveals that our voice carries information about our physical health. HeartMath research proves that our voice and emotions interact with the body’s electromagnetic field.

When we use sound consciously, we activate our body’s natural healing mechanisms.

How Sound, Voice & Vibration Support Radical Self-Care

1. Freeing the Body: Release Tension with Sound

We hold stress in our jaw, shoulders, and breath without realizing it. Sound helps to release stored tension and create flow in the body.

Try This: The Sighing Reset

Inhale deeply and exhale with a long, audible sigh.
Let the sound carry away tension, softening the body.
Repeat a few times and notice the shift.

Even a simple sigh can tell your nervous system: You are safe. You can let go.

2. Freeing the Mind: Shift Stagnant Energy with Humming

Humming isn’t just a mindless habit—it’s a powerful self-soothing tool. It activates the vagus nerve, which regulates relaxation and emotional balance.

Try This: The Humming Reset

Take a deep breath and exhale on a hum, letting the vibration move through your chest.
Experiment with different pitches—what feels best to you?
Hum for 2–3 minutes, then sit in the silence and notice how you feel.

This simple practice can quiet mental chatter and bring you back to center.

3. Freeing the Voice: Expressing Your Truth

For much of my life, I feared speaking up. That fear lived in my stomach, my throat, in every unspoken word I swallowed down.

But I’ve learned that your voice is your power—and when you use it, you reclaim parts of yourself you thought were lost.

Try This: Toning for Expression

Place a hand on your throat. Take a deep breath.
Exhale on a strong “Ooo” or “Ohm” sound, feeling the vibration.
Let your voice come out naturally—without judgment or expectation.

Sound moves what words cannot.

Your Voice is Your Liberation

Radical self-care isn’t about doing what’s convenient—it’s about doing what truly nourishes your soul. It’s about giving yourself permission to be seen, heard, and expressed in the fullest sense.

Your breath carries your voice, your voice carries your energy, and your energy carries your truth. So take a deep breath. Make sound. Let it move through you. Open up!
