Things I love to talk about:

- I am half Italian, half Scottish and a Navy brat

- My childhood and growing up in general while travelling the world with my family. We laughed a lot.

- My books, of course, and how I came to start writing them.

- Playing Dungeons & Dragons (or our own version of it) with my best friend.

- The comedy of everyday life and how we can all laugh with others instead of cry.

- I'm a former cosplayer! I was a professional or semi-professional cosplayer as a teenager and very early 20s, been doing it just for fun and as a volunteer since the early 2000s. It's a great community.

Join us as we explore and discuss different aspects of innovation such as:

1. Finding ideas, fleshing them out and having the confidence, discipline and motivation to bring them from the unseen realm of imagination to the tangible world of reality

2. The struggles that come with creativity, ingenuity or "whimsy". Why is creativity still important in a world that may think books, ideas, fantasy, sci-fi or adventure are the realm of AI rather than the realm of authors.

Join us for this timely discussion full of practical tips.

We'll also delve into this author's books and journey as a writer.

We have a lot to talk about.

Hello, my name is Jennifer D. Torseth, and I am an indie author of dystopian and sci-fi books, including "The Emergence: Sera," "The Emergence: Sam," the paranormal romance "Adele Wolf," and the children's book "Oh No, It's a Croc!" 

I was born and raised in Texas, and when I'm not writing about alien sludge or sexy shapeshifters, you can find me on my porch, enjoying a cup of coffee and spending time with my four-leggers.

Growing up as a cultural chameleon—seven years in Germany followed by American high school at fourteen—I quickly learned that feeling like you don't quite fit anywhere is pretty universal. Turns out, navigating high school without knowing all fifty states while thinking in German makes for interesting conversations and even better story material.

Writing became my happy place, starting with shared notebooks and collaborative stories that helped me master English while building friendships. Of course, life had other plans, throwing chronic migraines and health challenges into the mix for over twenty-five years. But hey, when life gives you mysterious symptoms, you become a natural health research ninja! I've tried everything from extreme nutrition plans to tailored exercise routines, and I've learned more about wellness than I ever expected.

My debut YA fantasy The Phoenix Host actually started with a tiny blue agate necklace from my rock-loving dad. That little stone sparked an entire world where my main character deals with magically-induced headaches. Because, apparently I write what I know, even in fantasy! After twelve rejection letters and an… interesting publishing experience, I found my publishing groove and have now released all four books in the Roanfire Saga, with over 4,000 copies sold.

I write for teens who are figuring out where they belong in this crazy world, probably because I'm still figuring that out myself. These days, having finally cracked the code on my health puzzle, I'm fascinated by how stories can be both our escape hatch when we need a break, and our compass when we're ready to face whatever comes next. Currently diving into the mental and brain side of health because, well, because there’s always another chapter.

Alice Ford. writes across all genres of fantasy, from mythic retellings to original worlds, horror to epic. My debut novel, Road to the Throne, is a re-imagining of Zeus’s origin story. She's been writing her whole life, but only recently gave herself the push to start publishing. Her work often explores themes of mental health, identity, and representation, because she believes fantasy is the perfect space to tackle real-world issues. When she's not writing, she's probably re-watching Bob’s Burgers or catching up on Rusty Quill and Helluva Boss.

1. How can I use quarantine to grow?

2. What skills contribute to self development and becoming my full self?

3. How can this self development journey become a community where people can contribute their journey and wisdom?

We've now been on this journey 5 years.

While often used interchangeably, inquisitiveness and curiosity have subtle differences. Curiosity is a general desire to learn and explore, while inquisitiveness emphasizes the active pursuit of knowledge through questioning and investigation. In essence, curiosity is the motivation, and inquisitiveness is the action driven by that motivation. Think of it this way: A curious person might be fascinated by self development, while an inquisitive person would actively try to understand what it is, how it works, and where it came from by asking questions and examining it. That's what we do here.

And fostering inquisitiveness is important because it can lead to:

1. Life long learning

2. Empathy

3. Deeper skill building and understanding and more

Paul Edge is an indie author who writes SciFi predominantly because it allows him to test his characters' endurance and abilities when pitted against impossible situations. He's joining me yo discuss being inquisitive and his author journey and his books. Join us.

We have a lot to talk about.

Here's a little introduction to my guest. Lisa Amowitz is an author of young adult fiction and a cover designer. Her fantasy trilogy, beginning with An Island Strange and Wild (2024), takes inspiration from The Secret Garden and has been praised by readers for its lyrical writing and rich atmosphere. Similar positive feedback greeted the series' prequel novella, A Promise Bright and Fragile (2024), as well as the trilogy’s second book, A Secret Deep and Savage. The third, as yet untitled, book is scheduled for release in late 2025. All books in the Lost Garden series are currently in production as audiobooks, set to release in late summer/early fall 2025. Additionally, this summer Lisa plans to release a book in an entirely new genre—a cozy paranormal mystery entitled A Whiff of Murder.

Lisa’s prior works include Until Beth (2015), Vision (2014), and Breaking Glass (2013)—the last of which she re-released in 2022 with an audiobook following in 2023. She has also contributed to the YA anthology Unbound: Stories of Love, Transformation and Monsters.

Lisa designs covers for her own books as well as select clients. Her dynamic designs aim to capture the essence of each story and draw readers in.

Summer Solstice Sister Circle: Reclaiming Space, Sisterhood, and Solace

(Inspired by the book The Red Tent)

The ancient world was egalitarian and matriarchal for 95% of its existence. Then patriarchy and colonization restructured the world. But what it could not change was the fact that women who lived together synced cycles. And during that week that they bled, they entered "the red tent", a place where they left the world and demands of men outside and fed themselves: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. They breathed. They rested. They spoke their minds. They did self care, and they supported and encouraged one another. They took up space unapologetically.

If you have a yoni, come to our red tent. (Ages 13 and up).

Join us on the longest day of the year—the Summer Solstice, a sacred moment when

nature celebrates fullness, expansion, and vitality and celebrate taking the space and time you need and you deserve

. Step away from daily demands and into a moment designed for deep feminine renewal. This evening gathering offers the perfect blend of restorative practices and community connection to reset your nervous system and welcome summer with clarity.

𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒:

Catered meal

Drinks

Gentle stretching Brea𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: Ready to Exhale with The Wordmatician

Motivational and Inspirational messaging

A sister circle (what's said in the circle, stays in the circle)

Wellness tables with materials for purchase, and more

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠:

- Relief from burnout and overwhelm

- Tools for sustainable self-care

- Deeper mind-body connection

- Community with like-minded women

- A Mental Reset

- A place for those who pour into others to REFILL themselves

- Permission and Space to just BE

As the Earth leans fully into the light, we invite you to lean fully into your own radiance.

Why the Solstice Is Powerful:

It's a time of illumination & transformation

Time to release the old and ignite your inner fire

Align with nature’s rhythms and recognize your own

Expand into your purpose with courage and clarity

Dress code: pajamas to whatever makes you feel like a goddess. Summer colors, especially red/pink, white, gold/yellow, purple and/or green.

Day 395 on the best seller's list; currently #88 in Kindle- Native American Poetry

Zen Ase, a newly divorced 43 year old Southern woman wanted a fresh start. She'd heard there were plenty of fish to choose from in the modern dating pond. What she discovered were plenty of guppies. Exactly 101 of them!

The result? A provocative, transparent, raw and delightfully uncensored account of her experiences with the 101 men she encountered on her journey to find "the one". In Plenty of Guppies, Zen spills all the tea on dating psychology, relationships, and self-discovery, while giving readers a rare glimpse into the life of an award-winning artist and best-selling author. The book is an enlightening narrative that explores gender roles and identity outside of societal expectations.

Zen has written a refreshingly mature modern day epic of online dating, layering her personal story with erotic poetic verses and passionate prose that frame her journey toward rebuilding a life as a single woman and adjusting to both an empty nest and boomeranging children.

Zen Ase’s story is alternately poignant, hysterical, uplifting, shocking, and (at its heart), a real life example of the old adage "truth is stranger (and can be harder to believe) than fiction".

Plenty of Guppies is the book every adult who has loved, lost and lived to try again didn't know they needed and will effortlessly respond and relate to.

Born in New York during a blizzard, Gina Vincent has been on a lifelong search for the ideal combination of sun, sand, and sea.

Her career took her south, to North Carolina, where she met and married her husband… gave birth to their son and adopted their daughter.

More recently she’s made her way out west. Today, she calls south Orange County, California home. When she’s not at her desk; she’s on her paddle board.

Gina Vincent is an Escape Artist Expert.

She’s determined to help you release the shackles of what you think - or - what society thinks you should be, to find the person that you are meant to be.

Her mission is to shatter the myths of mundane thoughts and mediocrity.

As the spark behind Exquisitely Aligned, she works with amazing people, like you, who have come to realize “having it all” … isn’t all that.

She helps you achieve a deeper, more meaningful, and (even) more fulfilling life.

Her own life has had a myriad of twists and turns.

Knowing that she was about to make a lifetime vow to the wrong guy, she listened to her intuition and called off the wedding… just ninety days before D day. Whew!

Years later… she learned to be an out-spoken advocate for her actual husband (the RIGHT guy), who nearly died, when their kids were just toddlers… it’s ok, he didn’t.

And they’re still living their happily ever after.

Experiences, successes, and challenges have shaped who she is today and created a clear path for her to guide you to your destination.

She shares step-by-step practical tools & techniques during your one-on-one time for you to continue to live your life… long after your time together.

Her goal is for you to make YOUR unique difference in the world.

Because… Gina believes…

… Today, the world is missing… what ONLY YOU have to give.

He didn't want to be a starving artist, but he always wanted to play music. He found out the local police department, Prince George's County in Maryland had a 20 year retirement plan. So, he said to himself, "If I can manage to not get killed for 20 years, I can get back to my music. I managed to survive, and I've been happily retired for 14 years. I retired when I was 42. I played in a band with a high school friend for almost 10 years until Covid showed up and put us out of business. Now I work with an artist. My life shows dedication to a dream, and the process to achieve that dream."

Audio Chapter 5 of Plenty of Guppies

Chapter 1 audio is in the exclusive content. Click the link for the whole ebook or paperback. Chapters 2-4 audios are past episodes. Blurb below. 5***** on Goodreads 4.2 **** on Amazon

Day 114 on the best seller's list

Zen Ase, a newly divorced 43 year old Southern woman wanted a fresh start. She'd heard there were plenty of fish to choose from in the modern dating pond. What she discovered were plenty of guppies. Exactly 101 of them!

The result? A provocative, transparent, raw and delightfully uncensored account of her experiences with the 101 men she encountered on her journey to find "the one". In Plenty of Guppies, Zen spills all the tea on dating psychology, relationships, and self-discovery, while giving readers a rare glimpse into the life of an award-winning artist and best-selling author. The book is an enlightening narrative that explores gender roles and identity outside of societal expectations.

Zen has written a refreshingly mature modern day epic of online dating, layering her personal story with erotic poetic verses and passionate prose that frame her journey toward rebuilding a life as a single woman and adjusting to both an empty nest and boomeranging children.

Zen Ase’s story is alternately poignant, hysterical, uplifting, shocking, and (at its heart), a real life example of the old adage "truth is stranger (and can be harder to believe) than fiction".

Plenty of Guppies is the book every adult who has loved, lost and lived to try again didn't know they needed and will effortlessly respond and relate to.

9. Background- Stephanie Urbina Jones is a powerful dreamer and artist of life. Once this shamama sets her intent on something, she almost always brings it to life and has fun doing it. She is a visionary seer and regularly walks between the worlds. She considers this normal and believes she has an army of Mexican angels (led by her Abuelita Virginia) that guide and guard her life and career.

Born in San Antonio and raised in small-town Fredericksburg, Texas, she has never met a stranger. Her first job was picking peaches, and her first date was coon hunting. She still loves the great outdoors and the simple things in life. She is living her dreams every day, working on songs, albums, books, tours, ceremonies, time with her family, or journeys around the world. She is enjoying her life now more than ever.

Stephanie lives on the river outside Nashville, TN, with her beloved daughter Zeta, husband and firewalk instructor Jeremy, their little white buffalo medicine dog Lulu, and moody cat Bolt. She loves getting snowed in and or any chance to be with her family.

She wrote her first song when her high school boyfriend broke up with her, and she never looked back. She loves her dad, Uncle Rudy, everything mariachi, and her Mexican roots. She spends a few months a year south of the border making music, playing, trying on dresses, leading journeys, or just hanging with her family of friends.

She loves Besame red lipstick (just like her Abuelita,) listening to music, eating nachos, daydreaming, meditating, going days without makeup, sipping coffee on the river in her pajamas, and leading sacred journeys. She believes in supporting the artists she loves and is always paying off some piece of art from her favorite painter Emily Grieves, sculptor Alberto Hernandez, or a designer piece of clothing.

She loves sweat lodges, healing massages, traveling, and fabulous hotels. She doesn’t cook and is so grateful for Uber Eats all over the world. She has a passion for helping people and things grow. She is not afraid of her, or your, darkness. She was born to hold sacred witness for others as they bloom through their pain and find their purpose.

One of the greatest gifts in the last ten years was becoming a Toltec teacher and starting Freedom Folk and Soul. She cherishes her deep connection with her Tribe of Transformation. Stephanie made history on the Grand Ole Opry, had a song she wrote to win The Voice, travels and tours all over the world with her Honky Tonk Mariachis, and is just getting started. She works with two mediums and several renowned shamans, and continues to learn and carry indigenous healing ways herself.

She is finally coming out of the shaman closet with Shaman Heart. She is a reiki master and loves to see how spirit moves through different healing modalities. Stephanie believes it all comes down to being a messenger of love. She spreads and makes magic everywhere she goes.

For more information on Shaman Heart and its contributing authors, please visit shamanheart.org

Her husband, Jeremy Pajer, is also a contributing author to Shaman Heart, Co-founder of Freedom Folk And Soul, and firewalk instructor, Toltec transformational teacher, and a Spiritual Adventure guide leading journeys with Stephanie around the world. He is available to be a guest for this interview.

I wrote about just that and everything that happened in between in my 2020 debuted ebook entitled "I Did That" later that year I begin life coaching under the great Tony Gaskins mentorship.

We are one. We rise or fall together.

I choose rising. Today is my mentor Runyararo Fana birthday. I may have tears in my eyes because I cannot hug him, but I will and do honor him.

More than any person on the planet, he taught me the importance of unity, supporting one another, lifting one another, encouraging one another, working together as he would say to create Wakanda.

Almost every Saturday, he taught a class- a free class- on community, principles, love. It was called Conversations in African Culture, but it was Umoja in action.

He started with meditation, libations, then music. He brought and read from books. He talked about contemporaries and ancestors. Every class was focused on one or more principles.

I'd never been taught like that.

He did not call it Zennurgy, but Zennurgy incorporates all those things plus affirmations, vision boards, journaling, and breathing. https://www.amazon.com/Zennurgize-Your-Life-Zen-Ase/dp/B09MYXXCD2

He taught me. I continue his legacy.

Today, I release Benediction on my podcast. It's an episode dedicated to those we lost to Covid and during Covid.

I hope it helps unite us in reverence, in hope, in love. Https://linktr.ee/zenase

As Runyararo Fana would say Pamoja Tutashinda- Together we shall win.

Meet the Founder of TH3RD EYE Ent., LLC

DIFERNT.

Born on December 15, 1990, in Houston, Texas, Fifth Ward she has overcome homelessness and foster care. She had a normal childhood until eleven; then her family ended up homeless. For the next three years, she would live in various places including: strangers’ houses; cars; parks; bus stops; shelters; and even a crack house. At age fourteen, she was placed in foster care and discovered that, in the State of Texas “foster kids” who aged out of care received free college tuition.

She is now an alumni of Sam Houston State University and a member of the Beta Theta Chapter of Phi Chi Theta. She graduated receiving her BA in International Business, with two minors in Economics & Business Communication, and her Master’s in Entrepreneurship. Difernt is also a Texas Real Estate Agent.

She has a love for traveling and has visited over fifty countries and participated in amateur kickboxing. Her hobbies include reading, journaling, watching "Shark Tank", meditating, biking, ATV riding, ziplining, and hanging out with her best friend—her nephew.

Difernt always knew she was meant for greatness, however, she understood to become the person she was meant to be—it would take fixing the issues that plagued her. She found the courage to do something about her depression and dismissed the notion that “black people don’t do therapy”. While

in therapy Difernt was encouraged to channel her negative experiences into a positive outcome. She quickly learned that with strategic planning, proper preparation, and constant prayer, she could manifest the life she was meant have—and wants others to do the same with their lives. Now at the age of thirty, realizing she

is not person she once was and by God’s Grace; Difernt is ready for the next adventure in her life-- publishing her first book.

It is with WHAT IF? A Controversial Paradigm Shift, Difernt hopes to inspire

individuals to have healthy conversations with others about systemic racism. It is her hypothesis that when we have these conversations about systemic racism and other taboo subjects then society can change for the better. Because when you know better, you do better.

Here is more information about her guest, Bayou Beaux Beez who vends at the Rayford street Market on the first and third Sundays of each month.

Barbecue and grilling during family reunions and on the weekends were a way of life for Jeffrey “Beez” Beasley growing up in Zwolle, Louisiana. Today Jeff and his wife Keisha Beasley are carrying on the family tradition by creating creole grilling sauces, rubs, seasonings, and homemade desserts that demonstrate the best of Louisiana’s unique cuisine. Called BayouBeauxBeez, the products were launched as a family business and has established itself as a popular brand in only six months. “We’re so excited about how much people love our products. From the barbecue sauces to our homemade cakes, we have a broad customer base and people who look for us at many of the malls and markets where we sell.” Their love for cooking has long been admired at gatherings by their close family and friends where they grilled and shared their culinary talents. Old family recipes like creole chicken and sausage gumbo, stuffed bell peppers with creole crab dressing, grilled meats and fried catfish all made with their own special blend of creole seasonings were often a part of their family events for years. Recently both Jeff and Keisha were both oil and gas executives who were laid off from their jobs this year due to the pandemic. Instead of idly waiting for the industry to bounce back, they decided to launch their own business based on their love of cooking and their talents for making rubs, sauces and spices. They also added homemade cakes and cookies to their product list. Every sauce, rub, seasoning, and dessert that they create is a tribute to their family members. Some include Drea’sDry Jerk Seasoning, named after Jeff’s sister-in-law who often cooked her famous Jerked chicken when he was growing up. And Pearl’s Butter Pecan Cookies and Butter Cakes are Jeff’s mother’s recipe that have been a favorite in Zwolle at church gatherings. Jeff and Keisha aspire to open a restaurant someday. For now, they will continue creating bold creole sauces and seasoning blends for their customers around the world. More information about their products can be found at www.bayoubeaux.com and by following Bayou Beaux Beez on all social media platforms.

According to the University of Louisville, "An assumption is an unexamined belief: what we think without realizing we think it. Our inferences (also called conclusions) are often based on assumptions that we haven't thought about critically. A critical thinker, however, is attentive to these assumptions because they are sometimes incorrect or misguided. Just because we assume something is true doesn't mean it is.

Think carefully about your assumptions when finding and analyzing information but also think carefully about the assumptions of others."

Many of us are no longer in school, so our eyes may have glazed over reading that. But so many of our problems in life and society are based on assumptions. What have you heard?

All men are/do/should do ...

All women are/ do/should do...

All kids are/ do/ should do...

Blacks...

Whites...

Hispanics...

Asians...

The elderly...

The rich... The poor...

Democrats... Republicans....

Etc. The truth is people are individuals, and our assumptions about people, about situations, hell even about ourselves can lead us to engage in prejudice, can create misunderstandings and missed opportunities, can literally limit our world to a very narrow sliver of experience. The process of growing is often the process of challenging what we have assumed to be true and learning what is really true. Join Martin Felton and I as we discuss how we have expanded our horizons using poetry, writing, intuition and other tools from our collective toolboxes that have helped us ADDRESS our ASSUMPTIONS and those of others.

So many of our problems in life and society are based on biases, many of them unconscious. Some biases are harmless, like chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Some are more sinister.

Here are some types in media-

1. Advertising bias- what is shown is geared to attract or keep advertisers happy effectively silencing some issues.

2. Concision bias - reporting only the views that are simple and easily digestible rather than more nuanced or complex ideas

3. Popularity bias - reporting what's trendy to seem "in the loop", avoiding lesser known byt important stories

4. Sensationalism reporting the scandalous or gory to entice "rubberneckers" who might ignore more newsworthy but "boring " stories

and of course there's bias against and for different demographics

men, women, kids, minorities, social classes, genders, educational levels, religious or political affiations, economic or social status, geographical locations etc.

Etc. The truth is people are individuals, and our biases concerning people, situations, or even ourselves can lead us to engage in discrimination, can create misunderstandings and missed opportunities, can literally limit our world to a very narrow sliver of experience. The process of growing is often the process of challenging our biases. Join Gwen Pearce and I as we discuss how we have expanded our horizons using poetry, writing, intuition and other tools from our collective toolboxes that have helped us Break Through Bias and pass that freedom on to others.

One definition of an affirmation is emotional support or encouragement. To affirm means to state as a fact; to assert strongly, to offer yourself emotional support or encouragement. So many times, we see facts as out of our control. But they are not. Our thoughts, our words, our actions change the facts of our lives. In your journal, write the following categories- mind, body, spirit. Within those categories write the facts that you choose to affirm from now on as becoming realities in your life. Include areas like success, love, family, creative endeavors, friends, travel, career, skill set, education, health, finance, wellness and any other areas that come to mind.

Jess Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP, has always had a foot in two different approaches to her life. Perhaps it is her Texas roots, but she believes to thrive in this world you have to ride two horses at once – one of humility and one of ego. This is why while hosting and performing stand-up in NYC she also worked as a diversity and inclusion specialist as a day job. She quit her day job after a decade and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think. For Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work to stick, the first step is a conversation that matters about what you don’t know you don’t know then you can do the best you can with what you have some of the time without getting sued, losing talent, or failing customers.

Breathe.

You, young lady, have nothing to prove to anyone.

You are enough

Good enough. Strong enough. Pretty enough. Smart enough. Successful enough. Spiritual enough.

Your goals are for you, and you can change them.

Being strong is facing challenges and just as importantly finding your own balance..

What good does it do a woman if she gains the whole world and loses her soul?

So take a minute and lift your head. Pat yourself on the back. Smile at yourself and say. "Girl, you are amazing."

Because you are.

And don't let this anything or anyone take that from you. This year celebrate you, flaws and all. Because self love can be the greatest challenge of all in a culture that makes more profit by making us feel inadequate.

Listen or watch. Then indulge in merchandise NOT meant to make you feel anything but inspired, uplifted and valuable.

More about the shirt mentioned in this broadcast. Some of us are still straight shooters. We believe there is a beauty in frankness, in standing up for what we believe and remaining true to ourselves. Show your pride in freedom of speech with a poetic flair. But to go even deeper, this design in about unity, about having the back of your brother and sister, about how truth can cut and can also be a protector, and about authenticity. It also encourages you to think outside the box, and use your art- hence the microphone and pen, and your unconventionality (the Z) in your search for justice.

Who were you born to be?

That's what we'll explore tonight. At a molecular level, all of us are energy and information. But at a spiritual level, we are infinite potential.

So many things we were taught to believe are are actually untruths. And life is calling us to walk into our birthright, our divine purpose.

We were taught fear and worry and stress and limits. It's time to unlearn those. When we were born, we knew none of those. We knew faith and trust and peace and possibility. We knew how to use our voice to get our needs met. We knew when we decided to walk, we would walk, eventually. We thought we could do and be anything. And the truth is pretty much, we can.

Think of what is happening right now as you read this. Your body is breathing, heart is pumping, stomach is digesting, immune system is killing germs, and your eyes are sending signals to your brain which is interpreting what you're reading- ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

That is just a one second glimpse of the power inside you. And when you combine that power with purpose, with faith, with surrender to your divine path, and with the knowledge that THIS was what you were born for. This is your birthright! Not paying bills and dying. Life becomes an adventure. Disappointments become happy surprises. Your future becomes a series of events unfolding that unlimited potential within you.

You begin to realize all is working in your favor and your path is brightening each day. Join Felicia Shantell and I as we discuss all this and the topics below. Share. Subscribe. Go to the website or youtube to see the video podcast of this episode/.

YOLAN YOUNG APOET’S POET SPOKEN WORD ARTIST, WRITER, ACTOR, ACTIVIST says, "GOD AND POETRY SAVED MY LIFE. GOD AND POETRY OPENED DOORS FOR ME I NEVER KNEW EXISTED." His latest film P.E.N.S. - Poetic Energy Needed in Society is an official selection in the Montreal Independent Film Festival, The Indie Fest Film Awards, and The Canadian Cinematography Awards.

Meet the poet whose heart pulsates with his passion for the art form that saved his life. Fans proclaim his energy is contagious, his message overdue. The spoken word performer and actor known as Yolan A Poet’s Poet was born in San Diego, California to working-class parents with their own penchant for writing and dramatic interpretation. Yolan, a former gang member, has seen the worst and best life has to offer; both inspire him.

After he was nearly felled by a massive heart attack, and was added to the heart transplant list, Yolan sought greater purpose. Poetry became his release. These days, he taps into an inherent ability to match words to feelings, verse to reason, meters to moments, and linguistic patterns to deeper meaning. Where many succumb to illness, Yolan perseveres and channels the rhythm of the manmade chambers implanted inside him to spread messages of power and pride through every mic he touches.

A history enthusiast, Yolan identifies generational guideposts to pen poems that resonate and inform. From the scourge of the crack epidemic to the viciousness of Southern California gang violence to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and the continuing plague of racial injustice, his performances thunder with truth, intelligence, and practical reason. He cunningly adds hints of hip-hop culture and politics into his work to enhance his broad appeal. Yolan brings reliability to the stage by infusing heartwarming personal experiences into most of his work. If you listen close enough, you are acutely aware of the influence Gil Scott-Heron, Dr. Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Edgar Alan Poe, Langston Hughes and others have on the artist. The result? Audiences flock to see the award-winning poet perform at the Houston Improv, Houston’s House of Blues, NRG Stadium, and top venues across the nation. Yolan is a published author of the brilliantly written book; The Unknown Child Named Yolan.
