From Pain to Poetry: Navigating Life's Challenges with Creativity and Connection

Are you struggling to build truthful connections and understand the value of self-reflection?   Our latest podcast episode draws this fascinating parallel as we're joined by an acclaimed author, IN-Q, whose words on male relationships and the pursuit for truth will leave you pondering long after the conversation ends.   During our exchange, we uncover the healing nature of writing, as we reflect on how crafting words can be a lifeline through the tumultuous waves of emotion. We consider the ripple effects of our spoken language, acknowledging the delicate power we yield with every narrative we spin. Later, the 'Never-Ending Now' poetry journal emerges as a beacon for those navigating life's stresses, inviting a dance between mindfulness and the art of written expression. It's more than just a conversation—it's an invitation to a deeper, more introspective voyage.   Join us for an episode that's not just about listening but about engaging with the very essence of what it means to live a fully expressed life.   IN-Q is an Emmy nominated poet, multi-platinum songwriter, world renowned keynote speaker, and the best-selling author of Inquire Within.
