    26. If It Makes You Happy
    May 5 2025
    After a long hiatus, our poet returns to share her thoughts, emotions and vulnerabilities. In this episode, she explores the idea of radically accepting joy. She comes to terms with the fact that people may judge her or try to diminish the value in her special moments, but she knows she deserves to embrace things that make her feel good. As she puts it: Why should it matter what they think, if it makes you happy?

    25. Saw You Crying On The Train
    Jun 16 2022
    When the world feels like it’s crashing, remember you’re more than what hurt you. March ahead with boxing gloves, funky shoes, glitter and glam. The worst is only temporary, and it has no idea how full of light you are. A poem about resilience, self-praise and personal power, this one will make you feel a little lighter again.

    In this episode, our young poet dreams about going back to a time when it was easier to love, laugh and have deep conversations.
