This week’s episode dives deep into the quiet spaces between heartbreak and healing — the places where we hold on even when we’re not sure why. Through poems about loss, doubt, solitude, and reluctant hope, we explore what it means to show up when you're unsure, to keep walking when you're not ready, and to find pieces of yourself along the way.

These poems aren’t just about pain — they’re about endurance. The kind of inner strength that doesn’t shout, but whispers: “I’m still here.”

Whether you’re in the middle of something hard or simply figuring yourself out, these verses might feel like they were written just for you.

🔑 In this episode:

• Feeling stuck in the loop of past pain
• The moment clarity finally cuts through doubt
• Learning how to accept love you're scared of
• Making peace with being alone — and why that matters
• The quiet courage of continuing
