EP22: He Quit Smoking When He Found Life Worth Living - Ken Tomaro

from You Can Quit Smoking · host Honor Your Heart Jessi Hartnett

Ken’s experience with smoking is marked by sudden transitions. He went from fierce advocate against smoking to smoker after one cigarette. Then after over 20 years he found himself going from always having a cigarette in his hand to waking up one morning and not needing it. Ken discusses the subconscious shift in his self-worth that finally allowed him to leave nicotine behind once and for all.About Ken: Never until recently did he consider writing poetry. Not when he slid from the womb or felt the first tingle of teen hormones. Not after he got married, divorced, moved to another city, lost a couple of jobs, and moved back. It just sort of happened. Ken Tomaro, bestselling author and self-proclaimed poet laureate of the Cleveland sewer system, has been writing poetry for a few short years. He’s not famous, recognized, or read in schools across America. He has been published in several literary journals, done a couple podcasts, started the YouTube channel, Screaming Down the Poetic Highway, and that’s pretty damn impressive.✨You can find Ken at:Kentomaro.com💛 Ready to go deeper?My book, Honor Your Heart, shares the mindset shifts and inner work that helped me finally quit smoking for good.
