This podcast is a space for real, honest, and meaningful conversation. I explore poetry, literature, healing, relationships, and the deep importance of connection—not just with others, but also with ourselves. While we talk about the beauty and significance of relationships, we also dive into the vital act of staying true to who we are. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the world and in the connections we cherish, but this space is a reminder that being in relationship with others should never mean abandoning ourselves. Whether I’m sharing my own journey or talking with guests, my goal is to create a space where stories and experiences bring us closer together. I believe that through sharing, we find understanding, and through connection, we find a sense of belonging.

You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com. Last July, I went to The Beach Boys’ concert at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah. Near the end of the concert, they played Don’t Worry Baby. I had heard the song before and always liked it, but I had never really listened to it. As I sat in the grass and Mike Love belted the song out, I heard it for the first time and it took on a whole new meaning. What seemed like silly lyrics that were there only because the amazing harmonies needed some lyrics became much deeper to me. I realized that in 2 minutes and 51 seconds, Brian Wilson conveyed a powerful story about vulnerability, love and safety. I left the next morning on a solo trip to Canyonlands National Park and ended up listening to Don’t Worry Baby on repeat for 3 days. I still listen to it on repeat regularly. Neither the music or the meaning ever gets old. In this episode, I use this song to discuss my observations and experiences related to vulnerability, love and safety in relationships, all types of relationships, and how that the lack of those three things contribute to an unfulfilled life.
