You’ve probably felt it before—someone says something blunt, even confronting… and yet, it lands. Not as a slap, but as a click. A truth your body already knew but hadn’t quite accepted yet.
On the flip side, you’ve likely had moments where even gentle words triggered defense, shutdown, or confusion.
What’s the difference?
It’s not the words. It’s the energy behind them.
And that’s where Trumpet Vine and Blackberry come in.
These two plants aren’t just flora — they’re amplifiers. Megaphones for what’s going on in your heart. If your intentions are murky, your words will sting. If your heart is clean, your truth can land like grace.
Let’s get into it.
💬 Out of the Abundance of the Heart, the Mouth Speaks
There’s an old saying:
“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”
Translation: whatever you’re holding inside—consciously or not—is going to come out in your words, your tone, and your timing.
And when you’re working with energetic plant allies like Trumpet Vine and Blackberry, that process becomes even more amplified.
These plants don’t give you a script.
They broadcast your current state.
Trumpet Vine says, “Here’s your voice. Let’s turn up the volume.”
Blackberry says, “Here’s your truth. Let’s root it down and make it real.”
🌿 Plant Allies as Amplifiers, Not Filters
Trumpet Vine is bold. It governs vocal expression, confidence, and visible leadership.
Blackberry is untamed clarity — it sharpens your discernment and makes it impossible to pretend.
Together? These two will not let you sugarcoat anything.
They make you real.
That’s a blessing if your heart is clear.
It’s a liability if your inner world is noisy, judgmental, or chaotic.
🔥 Storytime: A Moment of Clean-Hearted Truth
A while ago, I was at a street fair with my friend Tammy, who was doing dream interpretations in a booth. A man came in and started sharing this elaborate dream, expecting symbolism, archetypes, maybe even some mysticism.
Tammy listened for a minute.
Then she looked him straight in the eyes and said:
“You gotta stop smoking so much weed.”
No hesitation. No fluff. Just pure, loving clarity.
And he didn’t storm off. He didn’t argue.
He thanked her.
Why? Because her energy was clean. No judgment. No superiority.
Just that deep “momma heart” — the kind that sees and loves you while still saying what needs to be said.
That’s what aligned truth looks like.
💣 You Can Be Blunt — If Your Heart Is Pure
We live in a moment of collective gaslighting, misinformation, and emotional suppression.
People are hungry for truth.
But blasting it from a place of unresolved emotion, superiority, or fear?
That’s how bridges get burned, not built.
Trumpet Vine and Blackberry help you:
- Speak directly without being domineering
- Stay rooted in your values without getting reactive
- Amplify truth while staying open-hearted
They don’t make you nice.
They make you aligned.
🌕 Energetic Truth-Telling Requires Preparation
Before you speak that hard truth, ask:
- What’s the energy behind my message?
- Am I trying to help, or to be right?
- Is this my wound speaking, or my wisdom?
Let these questions guide your preparation.
Consider a simple practice:
- Place one hand over your heart, the other on your belly.
- Inhale deeply. Feel what’s true.
- Ask: “What would love say right now — without fear?”
Then speak from there.

✨ Final Word: Say It With Soul

The world doesn’t need more noise.
It needs resonance.
If you’re here to speak, teach, or lead — clean your channel.
Check your heart. Then speak loud and true.
