Episodes
In this episode, we begin by exploring a foundational question: What’s the tangled lie you’ve believed about your worth? So often, our sense of value is shaped by quiet, deeply rooted narratives—beliefs formed through experiences, relationships, and expectations we’ve carried for years.
Together, we’ll gently uncover these hidden stories and examine how they’ve influenced the way we see ourselves. This isn’t about ju...
In Week 4 of our journey through A Psalm for the Wild Built, we close with a gentle but powerful question: what does it mean to hope?
As the story unfolds, we’re invited to consider hope not as certainty, but as something quieter…something we choose to hold onto even when the future feels unclear. It’s not about having all the answers, but about remaining open to possibility.
In this episode, we reflect on how hope sh...
In Week 3 of our journey through A Psalm for the Wild-Built, we sit with one of the most honest and human questions of all: what do people really need?
As Dex’s conversation deepens, the story gently challenges the assumptions we carry about purpose, fulfillment, and what makes a life meaningful. Is it productivity? Achievement? Or something quieter…like connection, presence, and being truly seen?
In this episode, we ...
In Week 2 of journey through A Pslam for the Wild Built, we reflect on how curiosity can soften our assumptions and create space for deeper understanding. What happens when we stop trying to fix, explain, or control everything, and instead become willing to wonder?
Together, we consider how gentle curiosity can help us reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the questions that shape a meaningful life.
If you’v...
In Week 1 of our journey through A Psalm for the Wild Built, we begin with a quiet but radical idea: rest as resistance.
In a culture that constantly asks us to do more, produce more, and prove our worth through productivity, this story gently invites us to pause. Through the early moments of Dex’s journey, we explore what it means to step away from the noise of expectation and listen for something deeper within ours...
What does it really mean to choose love …especially after disappointment, heartbreak, or seasons that hardened us?
In this episode of The Write Voice, we explore the quiet courage it takes to move forward with an open heart. Choosing love isn’t naïve. It isn’t weak. It’s a decision (sometimes daily) to stay soft in a world that can make us guarded.
We talk about loving after loss, loving without losing yourself, and r...
In this episode of Pages of Our Past, we explore the spaces around the main narrative of our lives. The pauses between chapters. The scribbled notes of doubt, hope, change, and growth. Together, we reflect on how the “in-between” moments often hold the deepest truth about our journey — and why learning to notice them can help us understand our past with more compassion and clarity.
Not every story gets a clean ending. Some chapters close quietly. Some pages are torn out.
This week we step into the tender spaces we don’t always talk about…heartbreak that altered the course of our lives, losses that reshaped who we are, and the grief that lingers long after everyone else has moved on. Not all grief is dramatic or visible. Sometimes it hides in the ordinary. In the routines we keep. In the words w...
In this opening episode, we step into the emotional heart of Pages of Our Past by Emily Scotto while exploring how beginnings are often small, subtle, and deeply human. We talk about memory, impact, and the courage it takes to look back at the moments that shaped us. This episode is about honoring the past, understanding our origins, and recognizing that sometimes the first page starts when we choose to open the cha...
In this episode of The Write Voice, lets step inside The Bell Jar to explore Sylvia Plath’s unmistakable style and the haunting symbolism that gives the novel its lasting power. We examine how Plath’s sharp imagery, dark humor, and confessional voice blur the line between observation and emotion, creating a narrative that feels both intimate and unsettling. This episode invites listeners to look beyond the plot and ...
In this episode, we explore the haunting parallels between The Bell Jar and our own lived experiences of reality, identity, and isolation. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar becomes more than a symbol of depression…it becomes a mirror for the moments when we feel cut off from ourselves, unsure of who we are, and disconnected from the world we’re supposed to belong to.
We talk about the quiet ways isolation creeps in, how id...
In this episode of The Write Voice, we explore The Bell Jar through the lens of ambition and the search for meaning, asking what happens when striving, success, and expectation begin to feel suffocating rather than fulfilling. Using Esther Greenwood’s experience as a mirror, we talk about the pressure to choose the “right” life, the grief of unlived possibilities, and the quiet fear of wanting something deeper than ...
In this episode, we dive into the complex intersections of gender and society through the lens of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar. We explore how societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural pressures shape identity, mental health, and the courage to define oneself. Join us as we unpack the layers of Plath’s classic work and reflect on what it means to navigate a world that often limits who we are allowed to be.
January invites us into stillness…the kind that asks honest questions. In this episode, we open The Bell Jar not as a literary assignment, but as a reflective one. A story about identity, isolation, and the silent weight of expectations, The Bell Jar gives language to what so many feel but struggle to name.
Together, we explore what it means to live under invisible pressure, to feel disconnected from the person the w...
Just as Salva’s story reminds us that survival is built through small, faithful steps and through the people who walk alongside us…The Write Voice explores what it means to come home to yourself while learning how to walk each other home. Through honest conversations, reflective storytelling, and faith-anchored wisdom, each episode invites listeners to lay down isolation and pick up connection.
In this episode, we learn that courage isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a long walk. Sometimes it’s a daily return. And often, it’s choosing to honor who you are…and who you’re becoming…even when the path is grueling.
Join us as we unpack how this powerful novel mirrors the lifelong practice of standing in your own identity, trusting your own journey, and finding belonging from the inside out.
This episode invites listeners to reflect on resilience, belonging, transition, and the quiet power that rises when we are suspended between stories, unsure of what comes next, yet still moving forward. Join us as we discover how these narratives—one outward, one inward—meet at the crossroads of courage and becoming.
In this December special edition, we slow down and reflect on A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park—a story of endurance, hope, and the power of one step at a time. Through the parallel journeys of Salva and Nya, we explore the stillness between stories, the courage it takes to belong to yourself, and what it truly means to walk each other home.
This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own path, the les...
“Living the Story” invites you to see your life as a work of divine authorship—crafted, guided, and illuminated by The Giver of Stars. This episode explores what it means to live with intention, grace, and alignment in every unfolding chapter.
In this episode of The Write Voice, we explore the remarkable women who turned the simple act of delivering books into a movement for change. Inspired by the real Packhorse Librarians of Depression-era Kentucky, these stories reveal how courage, knowledge, and compassion can transform entire communities.
This reflection speaks on the enduring truth that women have always been at the heart of progress—riding through r...
