Welcome to Verse & Voices, where every story deserves to be heard!
In this episode, we sit down with Katryn Broadoak, poet of Ports and Portals, who invites readers into an emotional landscape where grief and grace coexist, tracing a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and faith. Written during and after a breast cancer diagnosis, the collection explores healing, motherhood, love, and spiritual tension with honesty, humor, and reverence. Although deeply personal, these poems resonate with anyone navigating uncertainty, renewal, and the sacred work of becoming whole again.
