Hey friend,

I want to tell you a story I’ve never shared in this depth before.

It was the moment everything changed for me.
The moment that eventually became the very first protocol inside my work today.

A while ago, my husband and I got into an argument.
I don’t even remember what it was about.
But I remember what happened next.

Out of my mouth, without thinking, came the words:

“Go away. I don’t feel safe.”

The second I said it, something inside me froze.

It was like my body had spoken a truth I had been too busy, too shut down, or too overwhelmed to hear.

Not unsafe from my husband.
​Unsafe inside myself.​
Overridden, exhausted, carrying too much, and completely disconnected from my own center.

And I didn’t know how to come back.

I tried a meditation and my mind wouldn’t settle.
I tried walking it off and the anxiety only got louder.
And then, almost out of instinct, I hummed.

Not a song.
Just vibration.
Just sound.

And something shifted.

The humming softened the edges of my panic.
My breath deepened.
And for the first time in months… I felt a tiny moment of relief.
A small opening in my chest.
A sigh that felt like it came from somewhere ancient.

It was the first time I felt held instead of holding everything together.

That moment became an experiment.
I layered breath with sound.
Voice with grounding.
A simple hand-to-body cue.
Nothing fancy—just what my system needed to feel safe enough to return home to itself.

And it worked.

I recorded the very first version of what eventually became the Return to Safety Protocol and listened to it over and over again.
It was the first day I truly breathed again.

This is why I teach what I teach today.
Not because I read it in a book.
But because my own body demanded a different way back to calm.

Inside Living Unmuted, these voice-based somatic resets are the foundation—the doorway home when your mind can’t think you there.

If this story speaks to something in you, I’m opening something special in January that begins with this exact return-to-calm process.

​You can join the waitlist here if you want to be the first to know when it opens.​

You don’t have to force calm.
Your body already knows the way home.
I would love to help you hear it again when the time comes.

With calm and care,
Kimberlie
