Learning To Fly

Today's episode is a very special episode celebrating the many different cultures and voices in a quickly growing community all centered around the ever-talented Miranda Sheh of Breaking Egg Productions! And in this episode, Miranda and I are joined by her three bi-lingual (native speakers for each special meeting) Elisha (@wixluxure), Lyca (@layssssss), and Peter Yu. All kind and interesting creatives and thinkers - ready to help the world heal and turn grieving into more of a community event.

Today's episode features a lovely poetry chapbook, Rainlily by Wanda Deglane. This collection speaks primarily to mental health awareness and topics of suicide, but it also traverses the emotional scale and reminds you that with rain comes a rainbow.

Today's episode I'm sharing some poems from "In the Dark, Soft Earth" a collection of primarily eukphrasis poetry by Frank Watson. It is particularly hard to review, but I figured today's episode would come fairly close to a way I will likely always feel about this book and gives you enough of a taste to decide on your own if you'd like to pick up or gift a copy any time soon!

Today Bhavana and I chat about her lovely book Imperfect and its delicate balance of Mental health advocacy and inspirational healing. We talk about the writing process for Bhavana followed by some chat about the book, support, and of course her new beautiful website!

Today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast was a blast to put together! We talk about big scary things like leaving a better world for future generations but we also talk about fun light things that encourage and comfort the inner child. If you're looking for ways to play, consider buying a coloring book or printing out sheets of your favorite (when you were young) characters and picking up some crayons!
