“The Coals” outlines being able to “find your voice when you’ve been silenced or have silenced yourself,” Calista shares. “It’s about letting yourself scream and howl when you’ve half forgotten how to. It’s about resisting the comforts of the things that have damaged us. It’s about breaking old patterns, and the kindness of no longer killing ourselves to be kind.”
