This Is My Voice!

We’ve all been told to chase work-life balance. It’s supposed to be the secret to feeling whole, rested, and in control. But what if balance isn’t the answer at all? What if chasing it is the very thing leaving us exhausted and guilty?In this episode, I share why I believe balance is a myth, how the pursuit of it fuels burnout, and what we can embrace instead. Listen in, then join the conversation by answering the poll question: Do you believe work-life balance actually exists, or is it a myth we’ve been sold?

You’re not lazy. You’re tired. And no, they are not the same thing.In this episode of This Is My Voice, Lora Tia serves a hot and honest, truth: rest is more than self-care; it’s rebellion. Especially in a world that worships burnout and applauds over-functioning.Listen now and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

The one who’s always there for others, even when no one asks how they're really doing.From childhood patterns to cultural expectations, Lora reflects on the invisible weight carried by many. With honesty and compassion, she explores what it means to relax, and to finally say: I’m tired.

What does it mean to “emasculate” a child, and what are the lifelong consequences of silencing sensitivity in young men?In this deeply reflective episode, Lora Tia unpacks how culture and parenting contribute to a crisis of identity for the modern male child. With compassion and clarity, she offers a different vision where boys are allowed to be whole, soft, expressive, and powerful.If you’re a parent, teacher, or simply someone healing from this dynamic yourself, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
