The Write Life

In this week’s episode I share my poem “Playing with Dolls” and talk about how to move through periods in life when you aren't feeling like your best self.

In this week's episode I share my poem “My Body is No Longer a War Zone.” I talk about my tricky relationship with food, exercise, and how I finally learned to love my body.

I am back after missing last week, due to jet lag and illness! This week I share my poem “The Great Cosmic Joke: Here's Hoping Heaven is Not a Materialistic Society.” I talk about being inspired by my travels abroad to live a life of quality over quantity and what that looks and feels like to me.

This week I am recording from Wiesbaden, Germany. I share in this short episode my poem "Masks" and talk about all the masks we wear in our everyday life, which may or may not be known to us, but can be shed during travel. I also talk about how our view of the societal narratives we inhabit in our particular corner of the world can change after travel or reading a piece of literature from another part of the world like it did for me after reading "The Man Who Could Move Clouds'' by Ingrid Rojas.

Summer break is here! This week I share my poem "Jersey Daydreams" and talk about the joys of parenting, specifically parenting as a creative and having a creative child. I also share some of my summer travel plans, but remind you about the all the ways that travel is available, even close to home.

This week I share my poem "The Huntress." I talk about my wild nature, which is currently begging to be expressed regularly and in a healthy way. I also share some ways for you to do this for yourself too.

Cha cha cha changes are in the air! This week I share my poem "Moving Forward" and talk about how to move through transitions with grace and ease, even though they can be anything but comfortable.

This week I share my column in May's issue of The Artisan Magazine. I also talk about how we can't let perfectionism get in the way of being our true selves.

This week I share a poem in progress and talk about learning to be good with the good, when you are used to the bad. (I apologize for the sound quality. I am still learning the podcast world. I also say this is episode 9, but it’s episode 8.)

This week I share my poem “The Mind Vs. The Heart.” I talk about the art of living in alignment with your intuition. I also speak about how to move towards the solution and not stay stuck in the problem when faced with one.
