Speaking Your Truth, do You Dare?

In my recent work, the idea of speaking your truth has come up quite a few times. So, in this article, I want to explore why it's important to speak our truth and the impact it can have on ourselves and those around us.

The part of the body connected with speaking our truth lies in the throat chakra—the energetic centre associated with communication, authenticity, and self-expression. Physically, it's located at the base of the throat and includes the voice box. Energetically, it’s what enables us to express who we are and what we believe in. When our throat chakra is open and balanced, we feel empowered to share our thoughts, feelings, and desires honestly.

When we put into words what we truly want or feel, something transformational happens. We begin to strip away the layers of societal conditioning and the expectations of others. In that moment, we align with our inner truth—our authentic self. When we speak with clarity and purpose, we send powerful signals to the universe about who we are and what we need.

Of course, it’s not always easy. Speaking your truth often means stepping into uncomfortable territory. It might mean challenging others' expectations or expressing emotions that have been buried for too long. You may even feel vulnerable or exposed. But this is part of the process, as it enables us to grow.

This month, you may notice that issues from the past are surfacing, particularly around moments where you didn’t feel heard or validated. This can manifest as arguments or emotional distance, particularly with people who have habitually failed to meet you halfway.

In some cases, you may feel drawn to distance yourself from individuals who don’t listen to you. If they remain unwilling to listen or acknowledge your needs, this could mark a turning point—a time for letting go and creating space for relationships that are more reciprocal and nourishing. However, this may not lead to an ending. Sometimes, these conversations lead to a redefinition of a relationship. By expressing your desires clearly and respectfully, you may find others are more willing to meet you where you are, leading to a more honest and supportive connection.

When feeling the need to speak your truth, it’s also important to make sure that you’re packaging what you want to say in a way which gets your point across without offending the other party, or offending them as little as possible. So, it might be worth writing bullet points about what you want to say, so you say it in a measured, balanced way and make sure you’re feeling balanced and grounded when you have the conversation.

By voicing what’s on our minds, we’re setting a new course of action in which our needs will be met as once we vocalise it, it’s out there in the universe, winging its way to bring you what you need, whether it be manifestation, help or support or something else. It’s a way of liberating ourselves and honouring our truths. But it’s also a way of being authentic and showing up for ourselves, knowing what we need and loving ourselves enough to do something about it.

It’s also worth noting that this journey isn’t only about speaking—it’s about listening, too. You may encounter people this month who feel the need to talk, even if what they’re saying doesn’t align with your perspective or the truth as you know it. Sometimes, it’s necessary to let them speak their version, even if it feels misguided. Their process may lead them to discover their own truth—and in time, evidence or clarity may emerge that reveals the fuller picture. In allowing others to speak, you help them begin to heal and balance their own throat chakra, just as you are working on yours.

When we give ourselves permission to voice what we truly think and feel, we send a message—not just to others, but to ourselves and the universe—that our needs matter. This sets the wheels of manifestation and liberation in motion.

Ultimately, speaking your truth is an act of self-love. It means showing up fully, embracing your vulnerability, and prioritising your emotional well-being.

So, ask yourself this month: What truth have I been holding back? What do I need to say, and to whom? And most importantly—am I ready to be heard?
