She Lost Her Voice. Then She Found Herself. – Greta Morgan

What happens when the thing you’ve built your life around suddenly disappears? Greta Morgan, acclaimed singer-songwriter (The Hush Sound, Springtime Carnivore) and former touring member of Vampire Weekend, faced that terrifying question when she lost her singing voice due to Spasmodic Dysphonia, a rare neurological condition she suspects was triggered by long COVID. In this deeply personal episode of Uncomfy, Greta opens up about the shock of losing her vocal range, the identity crisis that followed, and the surprising way she found healing—not through medicine, but through solitude, storytelling, and a transformative silent retreat in Zion National Park.
