S7:14 EP106: Healing, Hope, and Grace through Poetry with Grace E. Kelley

Today on the podcast we are joined by Grace E. Kelley, mother, farmer, and poet. She is the author of a debut poetry collection, As the Sparrow Flies. On this episode, Grace and Katie discuss farming, Shakespeare, healing, art, not being embarrassed by our teenage poetry, and why some things may just never be okay this side of Heaven. This is a hopeful, empowering discussion on how art can help us 'name the ache' and seek healing and wholeness in our lives.  *There is discussion of sexual abuse and birth trauma in this episode. --- www.bornofwonder.com  www.mediamarqcreative.com Born of Wonder Substack Come to Ireland with me in October 2024!  ---   Grace E.
