  • 19 - Look at How Far You've Come

    We all can be quite hard ourselves, can't we? Always looking to the goal, the place, the new height we wish to reach and in those moments we only see the gap. We see how far we have to go. And yet, what if just for today, you basked the gain? In today's solo riff, I share why and how we can focus on the progress we've made when we're in the gap of where we are and where we want to be (inspired by a friend who read The Gap & The Gain). 

    If you'd like to go a step further and do a journaling exercise to help you reflect on this more deeply, head to the Soul on the Rise newsletter and sign up to get weekly episodes and soul-quenching exercises sent to your inbox for free.

  • 18 - Create the Community You Want to See with poet, Ayjshané Winslett (Artist Interlude)
    In this week's episode I sit down with Austin-based poet, Ayjshané Winslett who is also the co-creator of Poetry on Tea Leaves, a monthly open mic and healing space for black, brown, and queer poets. We dig into how poetry has helped her connect with her full self and why she felt called to launch a new literary community. We also dig into how writing poetry from a tender place and performing it with power and strength can offer a cathartic, full-circle healing experience. She then shares three beautiful poems from her collection, Oceans Inside of Us, that will surely move you. 
    You can learn more about Ayjshané at @ayjshane on Instagram and if you're in Austin, you join her monthly Poetry on Tea Leaves gathering every first Sunday. More information @poetryontealeaves
