Stories on Perspectives, Change, and Listening with Jacqui Lents

I interview Jacqui Lents, and we talk about how the pandemic made her start writing a book, and how another setback turned into a comeback with her podcast.  We talk about perspectives, and how this is different for everyone.  She speaks about change and how some things remain constant.  We also talk about her love of storytelling and writing letters the old way.  We listen to her views about how listening can be a wonderful way to learn about a person.  Don't miss this episode! 

Tune in for: 

• her stories about just jumping in and getting things done and dealing with rejection 
• how different people have different perspectives - how seeing other's views can help broaden and deepen ours 
• change and what's constant in life 
• how easy it is to start an interesting conversation whether through speaking or writing 
• why listening is essential in conversations 

ABOUT ANNA 

Hello! I am Anna, a poet, writer and storyteller. For years, I have struggled with depression before I finally realised that I am enough, valued, and loved. While battling with depression and going through hoops in my search for self-confidence, I finally found the love of writing.  Journalling my thoughts, emotions and experiences in my first-ever self-published book has been a wonderful and fulfilling journey. I had such a low self-esteem before I eventually found the courage to write about my thoughts, feelings, and experiences in this collection of poems and short stories. Then, magic happened. I worked out and finally understood that I am not alone in this world, and that my story is worth sharing with all who might be feeling the same way. This collection of poems and short stories has brought me a beautiful gift of rebirth and a new leash on life. It dawned on me that my healing was a gift I owed to my self. I found self-worth.  I found love.  I found joy.  I found myself as whole again. Through my journey, I have become an advocate for meaningful conversations.  I am starting a podcast, and I would love to talk to you, and talk about how it is so important for our souls and spirits to thrive, and not just survive. We all deserve to be happy - to shine and to sparkle!
