The Life of Bryony

The Life of You – Poet Nikita Gill on Rage Writing, Recharging Your Battery, and Reconnecting with Nature


Listen Later

This week, I’m joined by the poet and author Nikita Gill for a conversation that feels like one of those late-night chats where you see yourself a little more clearly afterwards. I asked Nikita to share the three essential things she can’t live without – her answers were honest, illuminating, and full of surprises. We talk about why nurturing simple rituals matters, how to find hope in the everyday, and the quiet ways we can all anchor ourselves when life feels a bit much. If you’ve ever wondered what really keeps someone creative, grounded, and a little bit magical, this episode will speak to you.

 

BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE

Nikita's book, Hekate, a retelling in verse of the life of a child of war turned all-powerful goddess of witchcraft, necromancy and crossroads, is available to buy now.
