Episode notes

In this chapter, the speakers express gratitude towards writers, particularly Mary Oliver, for the therapeutic experiences their words provide. They discuss the difference between verse and prose, highlighting the unique rhythm that verse creates. They also explore the integration of grief into everyday life and the importance of being present in the moment.

When was the last time you truly embraced yourself, inside and out? My guest Cleo Wade, New York Times–bestselling author and poet shares her incredible wisdom for finding inner peace amid life's changes in her new book, Remember Love: Words for Tender Times. We explore how poetry anchors us when lost, tuning into natural rhythms, and growing through grief.

Cleo reads 3 deeply moving passages that remind us of our inner light and intrinsic self-worth. Her words stayed with me long after the episode ended, and I hope it does the same for you.
