Jann, Caitlin and Sarah welcome poet, influencer and radio host Josie Balka. They discuss Josie's journey into poetry, the impact of aging, vulnerability, and body image, and the process of publishing her debut poetry book, 'I Hope You Remember.' She reflects on the importance of authenticity in her work, the challenges of perfectionism, the joy of celebrating achievements, and the importance of personal connections that fuel creativity. More About Josie Balka: Josie Balka is a broadcaster, voiceover artist, and poet. She holds a diploma in radio, television, and film from Niagara College and has worked for some of the largest media companies in North America as an on-air personality. She can often be caught recording viral poetry in her sound-proof closet. I Hope You Remember, Josie's first book of poetry, includes over eighty poems, some previously published and others never shared before. Every page in this collection hits home, rhapsodizing on universal experiences like jealousy, family relationships, complex body image, falling in and out of love (with others and yourself), and the ever-changing lens of nostalgia. With sparse, clear prose, Josie's poetry looks to bring forth deep feelings like grief, envy, apathy, joy, and, most importantly, hope. https://www.instagram.com/josiebalka/ https://www.tiktok.com/@josiebalka https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/I-Hope-You-Remember/Josie-Balka/9781668077108 Flower shop Sarah mentioned (go get flowers if you live in King City!) https://www.instagram.com/floralstudiobyfiorib/ Flower shop Caitlin mentioned in Toronto: https://www.instagram.com/kenilworthfloral/ Until June 14th, get up to 20% off select tires thanks to our friends at Fountain Tire!

Wehlann  And really, the healing can happen in an instant, but we need words for how to process these things. Sometimes things happen, but it's words, and it's through the language that we can we can heal, and we can start to transform things.   Andrea L. WehlannAnd I think, I think it takes only one person to see you, one person to understand you. And I think that that can be so transformative, just one person, just one poem, one breath at a time, one heart at a time. Andrea L. Wehlann Your mind is a liar and a trickster and but that is a feeling that's inside, that's inner peace. And I think that yoga, each time you experience that, it builds on that and expands.

She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top of her class from Community and Justice Services, after completing her placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation she worked at a Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university education in psychology.

She has spoken at events that promote wellness and compassionately shares her experiences with her mental health. In 2021 she started a YouTube channel, Write or Die Show, to spread awareness about various mental health issues and to end the stigma associated with mental health.

Another of Randi-Lee's passions is kickboxing, which she has been doing for about 10 years.
