True power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader. Inward is a collection of poetry, quotes, and prose that explores the movement from self-love to unconditional love, the power of letting go, and the wisdom that comes when we truly try to know ourselves. It serves as a reminder to the listener that healing, transformation, and freedom are possible.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skillfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) provides a road map to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery, a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

Poetry of Healing is a deep-in-the-guts, shake-your-soul roadmap of my heartbreak, healing, awakening and evolution.“You are so together. Your life is amazing. You have it all figured out.” I hear this all the time. But perceptions are not the truth. No one saw the internal war that ravaged me. Plagued with constant anxiety and zero self-worth the ‘not enough’ and ‘the less than’ mindset took control. No matter how much positivity I poured into myself, my self-loathing ripped it to pieces. One poem at a time, one journey at a time, and one healing at a time.Each poem whispers: ...

Many of us write poetry in order to conquer our fears. Specifically, our fears relating to the uncomfortable feelings of anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma. In every episode, I pick one topic related to mental health, and I read a few of my own poems related to that topic. Art in all of its forms has the power to subdue and sublimate these feelings into something that is beautiful, lasting, but also an honest appraisal of what happened to us, and what we hope will never happen to us again.

Some might say life is about experiences or maybe even the journey. Some might add life is about the people we meet and the time we share together. As we grasp these experiences - some good, some bad - and continue along in our journey, we collect stories. These are the stories that are told to us and the stories we create. Poetry in Layers brings to you these narratives through a lens of mental health. Each episode will be layered with vulnerability, openness, exploration, self-expression, and the availability of healing. Thanks for listening.
