In phases of transition, here we understand that we are NOT lost. 

Oh, no no. 

We’re just floating quietly and calmly in the Fertile Void.

We know that navigating change often comes with a bit of discomfort. Putting words to those feelings can help us cultivate the right language for what we’re experiencing. 

And through those words, we can tap into the courage and clarity that’s required to navigate changing currents or completely new bodies of water. 

(And unexpected plumbing disasters.)

When things feel uncertain, we know that we can always find certainty in 3 simple words…

“You got this.” 

This week, Karlee revisits an episode with Gayle Danley, former National Individual Poetry Slam Champion. She holds a B.A. in broadcast journalism from Howard University and an M.A. in radio, TV, and film from Syracuse University. Gayle performs slam poetry around the country, and is the author of two books of poetry: Naked: Poems that Uncover My Soul and Soulfull: A Study of Slam Poetry.

In this episode, Gail shares her journey to self-affirmation through the power of words. You’ll hear how slam poetry has provided her with a sense of identity, purpose, and stability in times of change. You’ll learn how to “get good” with where you are in the moment, and how to cultivate a supportive inner voice.


If you’re ready to tap into the power of your words and paddle bravely through seas of change, then this episode is for you. 


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • (2:07) Ways to simplify when life feels complex
  • (11:23) Getting “good” with wherever you are now
  • (19:39) Finding voice through poetry
