Let the Verse Flow: Personal Growth Thru a Creative Lens
Jill Hodge (Writer, Former Teacher, Avid Journaler & Self-care Enthusiast)
What can spoken word poetry, music and a dash of positive psychology offer us in this day? Short answer: everything! It can inspire us, fortify us, and bring us together when our insides feel torn apart. After a long, sad journey of dealing with my mom’s ailing health, I share what I’ve learned in the most uplifting, empowering way I know. Because there’s magic in telling our stories, speaking our truth, and lighting the way for others so they don’t have to stumble in the dark like we did. I ...

Personal growth is not a one-and-done, it's a practice that we build over time and in stages. In this episode, we’ll think about where we are in the journey to knowing ourselves, dealing with our struggles, and taking those …

Comparison, especially comparing ourselves to the images we see on social media, can rob us of the ability to hold court with our personal strengths and abilities. We compare ourselves to a facade of perfection and find our lives lacking. While small amounts of comparison may help motivate us or provide a standard of sorts with which to reflect our…

Mid-life can be a time when we’re burdened by caregiving, health problems, and financial worries. It sounds all “doom an…

In this episode, I’ll discuss the adage “time heals all wounds.” We may not want to hear this, especially if it’s said off the cuff, but ultimately, time gives us a cushion to process our feelings. Engaging our senses in mindful acts also creates some space to heal. Time passes, priorities get rearranged, and new options start to appear. All these …

The limbic system in the brain is the part that is always looking for danger and anything that could threaten you. As you grew, different types of threats were experienced and your body’s reaction was set in place in order to keep you safe. Those reactions do make sense, but it doesn’t always seem like they do. Your limbic system wants you to stay …
