Josie Balka: Confidence vs. Self-Esteem and the Power of Poetry
Jann, Caitlin and Sarah welcome poet, influencer and radio host Josie Balka. They discuss Josie's journey into poetry, the impact of aging, vulnerability, and body image, and the process of publishing her debut poetry book, 'I Hope You Remember.' She reflects on the importance of authenticity in her work, the challenges of perfectionism, the joy of celebrating achievements, and the importance of personal connections that fuel creativity.
More About Josie Balka:
Josie Balka is a broadcaster, voiceover artist, and poet. She holds a diploma in radio, television, and film from Niagara College and has worked for some of the largest media companies in North America as an on-air personality. She can often be caught recording viral poetry in her sound-proof closet.
I Hope You Remember, Josie’s first book of poetry, includes over eighty poems, some previously published and others never shared before. Every page in this collection hits home, rhapsodizing on universal experiences like jealousy, family relationships, complex body image, falling in and out of love (with others and yourself), and the ever-changing lens of nostalgia. With sparse, clear prose, Josie’s poetry looks to bring forth deep feelings like grief, envy, apathy, joy, and, most importantly, hope.
