About this listen

 Words In The Wilderness is a podcast for changemakers, cycle breakers, and anyone tired of flatlining their existence with "fine." Hosted by Jacky Power, the Therapeutic Poet, each episode uses poetry as a foundation for exploring the wobbly, lonely terrain of becoming — of unlearning and unlayering — whether you're leaving a relationship, finding your voice, or simply learning that "I matter" is a truth, not an opinion. Sometimes with guests bringing professional insight or lived experience, sometimes raw and personal, this isn't a podcast about five steps to fix yourself. You're not broken. Your feelings are wisdom to decode. It's about having a cheerleader in your pocket when the path gets lonely and everyone else is questioning your choices. for brave souls who've awakened to their truth and are now navigating the wilderness of transformation© 2026 All poetry performed is subject to copyright and may not be broadcast or shared without consent.

    The Heap Of Hulps
    Mar 18 2026

    You know that moment when something rises in your throat - a howl, a truth, a need - and you just... swallow it back down?

    Jacky has a word for that. Hulp. A howl and a gulp combined. And this episode begins there; right in that frozen, swallowed place, because that's exactly where Jacky found herself when she sat down to record!

    This is an episode about what it actually feels like to start something. A behind the scenes look at the recording and deleting, the shame that crawls up when old wounds surface, the "here we go again" of it...

    Jacky takes you through the process she used to move from freeze to finally pressing record: writing a letter from her fear, sitting with the grief of it, reaching out - and what happened when she did.

    In this episode:

    • The HULP poem - and what it means to have a pile of swallowed truths
    • Why the antidote to shame is love, not self-improvement
    • The gap between your ideal self and your actual self - and why staying with the actual is where the richness lives
    • Why feeling like you don't fit in might mean you're a leader, not a misfit
