My First Interview on Spasmodic Dysphonia Exercises | Cathy Merkle-Roddy

My First Interview on Spasmodic Dysphonia Exercises | Cathy Merkle-Roddy

In my first interview on Spasmodic Dysphonia Exercises, I sit down with Cathy Merkle-Roddy for a conversation that goes far beyond drills.

We talk about voice loss, shame, identity, trauma, the nervous system side of voice disorders, Botox, hope, and what it means to believe healing is possible.

Cathy shares her story of going from life-altering voice problems and wider neurological symptoms to getting her voice back, and why restoring hope is the first step for so many people living with Spasmodic Dysphonia and related voice disorders.

This episode is about more than exercises.

It is about the human side of this condition.

The mental side.

The lifestyle side.

And the reality of trying to find your voice again when the world keeps telling you the wrong story.

If you live with Spasmodic Dysphonia, vocal strain, voice breaks, tremor, or the identity hit that can come with voice loss, this conversation is for you.
