About this listen

 Am I broken? I ask myself this every day. Pattern investigation from someone questioning everything my brain and body does. Melissa Geurts documents anxiety, boundaries, emotional responses, and why I react the way I do. Frequent updates on changing what doesn't serve me while living in systems designed to pretend we don't have feelings. Founder of The Blue Algorithm, Group Executive Creative Director at Good Housekeeping by day. I can build brand strategies but still overthink text messages. Spoiler alert: we're all just figuring it out. But what if we don't have to live in a broken system?Melissa Geurts | Emotional Storytelling & Creative Systems | The Blue Algorithm

    What If Validation Had a Sound?
    Jul 6 2025

    What if you didn't need anyone else to validate you? Just a mic. And a moment of emotional truth.

    This episode is about that feeling. The one where you finally hear yourself say the thing, and your body goes: yes. that happened.

    Not applause. Not praise. Not someone else telling you you're valid. Just your own voice, telling the truth back to you. And your nervous system recognizing it as real.

    If you've ever been told you're dramatic, sensitive, crazy, too much, this is for the part of you that still wonders if you imagined it. Voice journaling meets self-acceptance. Spoiler: you didn't.

    This is the first episode of Audio Spells: a voice-note series exploring emotional truth, nervous system wisdom, and nonlinear storytelling from The Blue Algorithm. Read the full essay that inspired this episode.
