A2H #5 | Practicing the Small Deaths with Lolo Wink

Have you ever had a relationship where part of the time, everything was perfect and it was everything you ever wanted? But then there are other times when that same person completely disregards you, pretends you don’t have a connection, speaks as if you’re not in the room, and actively tries to remove any trace of you from their life? This wouldn’t be the ideal relationship, so why do we allow ourselves to be treated this way? It turns out, there could be many reasons. Today, we’re talking to Lolo Wink, a powerful poet who will share a vulnerable piece about her experience in a relationship like this. We also explore how this lack of self worth can stem from generational trauma and how practicing the small death’s in life can help you find not only your voice, but your worth as well. Born in San Jose, California Lauren was inspired by music and the creative arts from a young age. She found joy in performance; developing a background in theater, public speaking and vocal performance. She was an avid reader from a young age. As a young person, Lauren found it difficult to forge her own identity and struggled to find her voice for many years. Although many things shaped and influenced Lauren, her life changed forever when she discovered Hip hop, drawn to writing from a love of words, wit, rhythm and beats.
