What fears are holding you back from living through love?
In this episode of the Live Through Love Podcast, Ruben welcomes IN-Q, an award-winning poet, multi-platinum songwriter, and best-selling author, to talk about creation, dating, and overcoming irrational fear so you can get back to living your life through love and empowerment.
Ruben and IN-Q speak about his creative process for writing, the alchemy of art, and the importance of vulnerability, curiosity, and surrender in creation and presentation.
IN-Q shares how his life partner has impacted his work and his personal life, the connection between freestyle rap and poetry, how he found his voice through freestyling, and the premise of his book, Inquire Within. He also emphasizes the power of creating art even if you think you’re not “good” at it and having a safe space to express your creativity.
“When you don’t think you’re great at something, it can be a Trojan horse for transformation in a way that something you’re familiar with can’t.” - IN-Q
Plus… Listen in to hear IN-Q’s candid thoughts on how the lessons he learned from his dating experience have bled into the different areas of his life.
“I can always get better at being more open-hearted, less judgmental, more connected to myself and the world. So, it’s a process rather than a product for me.” - IN-Q
