In this season’s closing episode, I share my experience entering a writing contest — not for the prize, but to prove something to myself. The results didn’t matter as much as the lesson: that rejection doesn’t erase the courage it takes to show up, create, and believe in your voice. I wrap up Season 1 with a reminder to stand boldly in your authenticity, keep betting on yourself, and never let your voice be silenced.

Thank you for listening!

Can't wait until Season 2.

When you’ve fought tooth and nail to see your own worth, something magical happens the moment someone else sees it too—not just the surface-level parts, but the deep, unpolished truths you’ve had to fight to love.

In this episode, I’m talking about the rare alignment that happens when someone’s perception of you finally matches the value you’ve already claimed for yourself… and how to tell if that mirror is real or just a reflection you’ve been wanting to see.

This mid-week “mini-bomb” is for anyone who's ever had their boundaries tested by someone pretending it’s love or concern. Jay Catalyst breaks down the subtle power plays people use to chip away at your autonomy—and why reclaiming your voice isn’t “too much”… it’s necessary.

Short. Unfiltered. No apologies.

Because your power?
It’s not up for negotiation.

What if one song could change your life?

In this episode, Jay Catalyst shares the raw and unexpected moment that sparked a complete transformation. It began with Jungkook’s “Hate You” and spiraled into a soul-deep connection with BTS—especially the music of Yoongi (SUGA)—that unlocked years of buried emotion and silenced truth.

This isn’t just about music. It’s about waking up. About reclaiming your voice. About finally choosing you.

If you've ever felt numb, silenced, or stuck in survival mode—this one is for you.

In this deeply personal episode, J. Catalyst reflects on the silent roles we inherit — the caretakers, the pleasers, the performers. What happens when your identity is shaped by survival rather than choice? From childhood conditioning to toxic relationships, this episode peels back the layers of performance to reveal the soul underneath — raw, unfiltered, and ready to be free.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy unless you were useful to someone else — this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Voices, I take a vulnerable dive into the hidden dangers of idol worship and the fine line between admiration and obsession.

We’ll explore the emotional and psychological toll that toxic fandom culture can have on both the admired and the admirer — especially when personal boundaries are ignored or distorted.

I also reflect on what it means to be truly seen, the responsibility of influence, and how we can reclaim our voice in spaces where it often gets lost.

This isn’t just about celebrities — it’s about healing, self-worth, and remembering that no one is above or below love.

Trigger Warning: Emotional intensity, mentions of exploitation, abandonment, and emotional manipulation.

Through spoken reflection and raw poetry, The Memory of Eloise captures the ache of loss, the power of remembrance, and the beauty in holding on without losing yourself.
