PODCAST - Where We Bloom

Journeys of the Soul is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Dear Readers and Listeners, I’m sharing the podcast narration that accompanies my piece “Where We Bloom” — a reflection on belonging, change, and the quiet power of connection. I watched the falling leaves and realized that life, like the seasons, is a journey of constant change. We bloom, we shed, we rest, and bloom anew. Each phase asks us to grow, to connect, and to honor ourselves. We all crave spaces where we can be seen and understood — reminders that, regardless of where we come from, our need for connection and care is universal.

Our New York Stories: Connecting on a Sense of Place

Journeys of the Soul is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Dear Readers, In this Substack Live with New York-based writer Sheri Handel, we explored how stories connect to place like Central Park in New York, layered with memory and meaning. Sheri shared how she uses photos and imagery to brainstorm, illustrate, and build themes for her writing. I also talked about how my own writing leans toward travel that isn’t just about crossing off the bucket list, but about the transformative and reflective parts of the journey. With Journeys of the Soul, travel is not just about destinations but it is about the stories that unfold. We also talked about what we offer here in Substack and what’s ahead in the coming months. If you missed it live, here’s the full replay. I am grateful to Sheri for inviting me to do a LIVE with her.
