Post 1 Blog Introduction: Finding the True Voice

Have you ever had a moment where there were two voices inside your head, one urging you forward, encouraging you to trust, to heal, to take a step towards the light, and another pulling you back, whispering doubt, fear, or unworthiness? How do you decide which voice to listen to? The choice is never a small one. Whichever voice we choose has the power to shape how we see the world and how we move through it. In the end, the voices we choose to listen to become the story of our lives, one decision at a time.

Growing up, I heard many voices. For a long time, I didn’t realize that not everyone had a whole crowd of voices in their heads. I assumed it was normal that everyone lived with the constant dialogue, the debates between parts of themselves. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID) that I understood what was happening. The revelation was both startling and strangely validating, an explanation for why some voices were protectors, others were critics, and some just echoes of past pain trying to make sense of a world that often felt unsafe.

However, even before I understood DID, there were always other voices, those that couldn’t be explained away by trauma or psychology. As a child, I was kind of like a portal for energy and spirits. I could hear what I called the “tour guide,” a voice that spoke with wisdom and kindness, offering explanations beyond my years. This voice was different from the others. It didn’t compete or criticize; it was steady, clear, and somehow ancient. Yet, alongside it, I also heard the restless whispers of hungry ghosts, entities seeking attention, lost and unsatisfied. And don’t get me started on being able to “feel” the energies of others around me. Sorting through these energies was like navigating a crowded room where people’s hidden thoughts were loud and clear.

Through therapy, self-help, shamanism, and other healing modalities, I began to learn which voices to trust (the ones that are aligned with love, truth, and light) and which to release. It’s a skill I’m still mastering daily. But I believe this is a journey we all share in one way or another, distinguishing the voices of fear and pain from the voice of our higher self and Spirit. In this space, The Voices We Listen To, I hope to explore that journey from past to present and on to a better future with you. Through my own healing experiences and even those of my clients, I hope to clear a path, imperfect but real, towards finding and following the voice that leads us to our highest potential lives.

Whether you’re here to explore your own inner dialogues, to witness the healing of old wounds, to embrace your own gifts, or to just be nosey as I share (and sometimes overshare) what has led me from a broken, traumatized girl with personalities, to a Shamanic Healer and Instructor, I hope you find something you need within these words. After all, the voices we listen to are the ones that shape who we become.

Thank you for joining me.

Much Love, Maestra Wyzdom DVine
