Have you ever noticed how shadows hold just as much truth as the light?
In this soulful conversation, I sit down with Australian poet, author, and medical academic Nadine Ellis, whose new book The Grey Between explores the balance of light and dark we all navigate in life. Nadine shares how poetry became both her lifeline and her joy—helping her process trauma, honour her truth, and ultimately transform shadows into creative expression.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ How poetry can become a powerful tool for healing and resilience
✨ The role of shadows, both in life and in art, in shaping personal growth
✨ Why everyday creativity can bring peace, empowerment, and joy
Key Takeaways:
- Creativity doesn’t need to be perfect or public; it’s about giving yourself permission to express what’s within.
- Shadows and struggles can help us appreciate beauty and fleeting joy more deeply.
- Poetry (and any creative practice) can be both a lifeline in hard times and a source of peace when life is calm.
- You don’t have to be “a poet” to benefit from writing; just start, play, and let the words flow.
