This week I’m taking you to the woods in County Sligo, where I stood with nine other women and screamed. My first scream was a polite, lady’s scream. By the last round, what came out of me was one loud, clear “no.” My whole life, my voice has been called too much, too loud, too weird, and somewhere along the way I learned to swallow the sound.

We get into why this rule was never really about being quiet. It’s about who gets to decide how much space your voice takes up. We get into how the rule has never been enforced equally. We get into how the same culture that took your volume away now expects you to be heard at the school meeting, with the insurance company, and in the exam room, just quietly enough that you don’t bother anyone. And we get into the hardest part: catching yourself right before you make your voice smaller, and finding one place this week to be loud on purpose.
