It's GO TIME!! I can’t believe it, but I launched my podcast today! Yes, my new podcast, Let the Verse Flow is live! It’s a passion project that developed out of my year-and-a-half journey to help my mother with her ailing health. Months of hospital visits, caring for her in my home and finally moving her to an Assisted Living facility, took its toll on me and I felt broken for a while.
Instinctively, I picked up my pen and started writing poetry—something I hadn’t done since I was a teenager. These poems often started out dark, but toward the end, my words turned hopeful. Positive changes were coming—a small uptick in my personal growth as I started shifting my priorities and questioning thinking patterns that weren’t serving me well.
- I spent more time on creative projects,
- focused more on my needs (and stopped people-pleasing behaviors), and
- stopped judging myself so harshly.
All of this came from a strong feeling deep in my gut that I wanted (and deserved) more out of life.
I was curious about these thoughts and started researching a bunch of topics to develop my idea for a new type of self-improvement podcast. I developed small, doable coping strategies by studying topics like grief, mindfulness, creative flow, and positive psychology. After months of slow development, I’ve launched a new podcast that uses stories, poems, and music to inspire our collective personal growth journeys. It’s part entertainment, part self-care.
