It is a big birthday for me this month and I wrote this as a gift to myself, to my kids and to my grandkids. It encompasses all that is me, was me, and I do believe not just me.    You may want to listen to it more than once and then share it with someone, and I think you'll see why after you hear it.  All I can say is that I have never written anything like this before. There is really no way to describe it, so just press play and hear for yourself!

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode, we discuss the women's sect with love. A lot of women are out there who've never experienced love. They play games with it. They demand financial gain before trusting it. They try to put love in submission with the silent treatment and so many other childish tactics to mask their lack of poor communication. There's so much that love can take before it moves on to someone more mature. Let's get into it. Women, when's the first time you knew love? Message us your answer on our social media platforms. Support the show

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode we break down the men's version of love. I've talked to a lot of men about love and their first time they notice that they loved someone. Our first love could start as early as pre-k or as late as adulthood. This doesn't mean the more intimate love we all talk about but love in general. When was the first time you knew love?

Pioneering physician, psychiatrist, and spoken-word poet, Dr. Chika Stacy Oriuwa shares her journey from being the only Black student in her cohort at medical school to becoming a vocal advocate for equity in medicine. Dr. Oriuwa's work helped admit the largest group of Black medical students in Canada, and, in her discussion with LifeSpeak's Marianne Wisenthal, she reflects on the systemic racism she faced, her role in changing the narrative, and her personal and professional growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!People talk about love like learning a new vocab word and saying it excessively. That doesn't mean you know how to use it properly. Often times we think we're "in love" but you never truly love someone until you "choose to love them". Marriage isn't always the good times. That what the vows prepared you for. Do you really love your spouse? Did you have to grow to love them? Let's get into this episode. Support the show

This episode is a result of trusting my heart when it didn't feel aligned to release a regular episode ie (a guest or a solo episode). I leaned in and listened and asked myself - Where Am I Limiting Myself? And then I got the download to spontaneously channel what comes natural to - spoken word poetry. This is the way I sing - and you can feel the frequency when you open your heart to receive that this is about you. Best to listen fully immersed without distractions if you can to receive this transmission. Instagram: @amydawns1111 Website: www.amydawns.com

Take the truth in, learn from it, don't repeat it, don't fight it, and move on from it. I can tell you right now someone is hiding something from you.

You feeling this episode? Send us a text!In this episode we pay homage to Reading Rainbow and talk about banned books. There are many banned books on the public school lists across the US but many books should not be there. Books about different cultures apart from ours. Where do we draw the line? Is one race's history the only history we should know? I would think not! Hidden in this piece are banned book titles. Can you find them all? Support the Show.

Towards the end of 2023, I told myself I would would get back to writing some Spoken Word Poetry. I found an online contest at the last minute and scrambled to write something and have it recorded and submitted on time.  The caviat was, that the poem's subject had to be about Climate Change and how Dire the situation is at present. This piece, "1 Million Species", is what came out.. In 3 short sittings. It happened to be the Longest poem I have ever written.  Please take the 9 minutes and 18 seconds to Listen.. To listen with a clear, conscious mind, ready to recieve. Headphones would be the best option. As well, please, if this poem or any of my content strikes a chord with you, or if there are others who you think might glean some value from it, please share on any and all platforms. I have not really monetized any of this yet.. I do it for the impact it has on others.  Let me know your thoughts.. what kind of emotions, ideas and other experiences were evoked within you from this.  Lastly, please do wht you can for this beautiful planet in your own life and out there on your adventures. Remember to always be considerate of all the many species that work together to make this Project Earth continue into the future. Throw away your trash, recycle when you can, pollute less, call others out, or at least lead by example.  Peace n Love -The WordsMyth

There are too many talks about relationships, dating requirements in this day and age. Submission is more like a swear word and omission is positive to get your own way. Deception is a better way of explaining it. Why does a man need to pay a 5 course meal on the first date? Why should a woman have a joint bank account with her "boyfriend"? If you're looking how I'm looking then you know this is asinine. In this episode, it's time to sound off all of the ideocracies of this "new age" dating mindsets.  Support the show

Mother Moon is an original poem written and read by author Ariana R Cherry. It is a spoken word poetry reading with piano accompaniment which Ariana also wrote and played herself. MOTHER MOON POEM We wait for the moon to rise to awaken our tired eyes. She leads us through the unseen darkness, as we wait for the warm light to materialize. The nighttime moon gives us hope, and protects us from nightmares and dreams. She's so much more than the image that we see in our favorite telescope. The moon lights up the dark nighttime sky, and means more than the science that we can see with our own naked eye. She's our protector in times of uncertainty and our compass when we can't find our way. The moon is everlasting, shining on eternally.

“In 2009, when he was twenty years old, Joshua Bennett was invited to perform a spoken word poem for Barack and Michelle Obama, at the same White House "Poetry Jam" where Lin-Manuel Miranda declaimed the opening bars of a work-in-progress that would soon revolutionize American theater. That meeting is but one among many in the trajectory of Bennett's young life, as he rode the cresting wave of spoken word through the 2010s.” In his newest book Spoken Word: A Cultural History (March 28, 2023), Bennett unpacks the roots of spoken word poetry, the Black Arts movement, and the prominence of poetry and song in Black education. He joins Tavis to discuss.

Incredibly powerful wisdom for all of us to be more "GOLD". A Genuine, Original, Loving, Dreamer on route to your big goals.She capped the episode off showcasing some of her ability to create poetry by sharing a flow with us on the spot!Doc Peace also shared the steps to success in building a creator business. And how she went from being a doctor and fulfilling her family's dreams about her career to becoming an award winning poet and entrepreneur. One of the most incredible moments was when Doc shared her prescriptions for living a mentally healthy life. She shared a practice of adding a small object to a jar, like a jelly bean, or pebble to the jar every time that you show up in a time that it took courage. The ability to see the physical objects grow in our courage piggy bank will continue to increase our confidence and build momentum. Doc Peace shared her belief in spirituality and how the universe works through us. We need to trust our inner voice when it guides us toward a direction based on the passions that fuel us.Create Your Own StoryDoc shared key strategies for succeeding in your side hustle even though you may be really busy with work that pays the bills.She reminds us that we tell ourselves a story about our life. We create a character that will do things that we don't even want to do. Breaking free from this narrative and becoming the hero in our own movie was key for her. She used this approach to pivot from a corporate medical career as a doctor and to poetry and entrepreneurship. Doc shares how it all started when a voice came to her and said “You don't just need to wear gold, you need to be gold”. That was the moment she created her acronym for "GOLD". A Genuine, Original, Loving, Dreamer. And she started to use this concept of gold in all of her creations from art to business.Doc is a genius when it comes to understanding what it means to build a clear personal brand around a story.  She noted how we can be both person and business oriented. In her case Doc Peace, in my case Justin Nolan. But this goes hand in hand with a broad brand as well. In her case “gold” and in my case “Just Keep Learning.”The Three Stages Of Success For CreatorsDoc shared three overarching stages we go through as content creators. At first, we have a feeling that we can't make money in the world of art. We reinforce the belief in the starving artist. All we can do in phase one is explore. We create, but most of our work is hidden. We need some other way to pay the bills. And we pretty much have to beg for collaborations, partnerships, someone to “put us on”.In the second phase we probably still hold down a traditional job, but we start to get paid for the creative work we do. People actually book us and provide compensation for what we make.In this second phase, even though we may be far from “making it” we can see some light and possibility.Finally in the third phase we know how to craft offers and build revenue that is sustainable on the back of what we create.In the episode, Doc Peace shared her own progression through these phases. She went from wanting to learn more about poetry, to a commitment to create in public daily. And how that transformed her entire world as a creative. 11 Things That Help Build Your Creator Business1. Study the greats2. Get the craft down. Accentuate your strengths, and improve your weaknesses. Write and perform as much as you can for the first year3. Focus on networking and collaboration4. Do outreach in order to start creating your own opportunities5. Figure out who you serve, because you can't serve everyone as a target audience. Everyone can join later, but in the early stages you have to dial in who you create for and speak directly to them6. If you're shy, it may help to take on an alter ego, digital guise, persona to create within7. What makes you a genuine, original, loving, dreamer? Create for your higher self and step into that role. 8. Build an offer that connects your creativity to a money making offer for other businesses9. Speak in clear terms when building your brand partnerships so that you are not confusing, vague, or cryptic. People should know what you do, and for who?10. The more you create, get feedback, partner with people and continue to publish, the more momentum will build, keep going!11. Create simple, memorable stories that communicate your values and interests when you are creating any content that you want to spread. Memorable Quotes“Opportunities don't always come to you. But you can make them happen.”“There were so many times that I was starstruck and had to snap myself out of it. But it helps when we realize that we are all people, and they had a start similar to me too where they were just figuring everything out. And they are gold, but so am I.”“Once you can really own who you are, then you will have the confidence to connect with other people too.” “Confidence comes through actually making enough attempts that you've figured something out for yourself.”“What are the characteristics of the higher version of you? Write them down. Now show up as that.”Guest BioDoc Peace is indeed a doctor by trade. And she is also an award-winning spoken word poet, business leader and podcast host featured in Forbes.As an advocate for empowerment through education, Doc Peace supports businesses in leveraging technologies. Through her offers, she helps them leverage things like NFTs & AI to elevate their brand through strategic storytelling and innovative voiceovers. FOLLOW DOCPEACEInstagram - @metadocpeaceTwitter - @metadocpeaceLinkedIn - @docpeaceFOLLOW JUSTIN (JustTries)Website - JustTriesHOMEInstagram - @JustTriesYouTube - Just TriesTwitter - @JustTries_Tiktok -  @justtriesPinterest - JustTriesFacebook - Just TriesCONNECT WITH JUST KEEP LEARNINGWebsite - JKLHOMEInstagram - @JustKeepLearning.CaTiktok -  @justkeeplearning.caFacebook - Just Keep LearningFree Group - JKL Goal Setting CommunityWe appreciate you being here!

At 17, Michael "ILLiptical" Sloman began performing Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry at Albany High School's Inkblot poetry slams. Throughout his 20s and early-30s, he was a mainstay in the Capital Region Slam Community, performing with the first-ever Nitty Gritty Slam team at the National Poetry Slam in Charlotte, North Carolina, along with Elizag, D Colin, and Algorhythm. Now at the age of 38, and living in Yonkers, NY, Michael focuses mostly on filmmaking under the moniker of Kulture Seed Films, writing and directing movies, as well as teaching high school students to tap into their own creativity. Sloman says, "When inspired by wisdom, nature, or the happenstances of life, a poem shall be written, and it's only a matter of time before the Poet spits again." ILLiptical performed his poem "Vegan Knowledge" at the Getting Down to the Brass Tacks spoken word event on March 29, 2018, at The Low Beat. In our conversation, we talk about where that poem came from, the power of poetry, transitioning to screenwriting, and more.

Kwantum Peakz (KP) is the moniker of an established slam poet who made his artistic debut in late 2018. He quickly became a regular mainstay at the Urban Legends Poetry Collective slam poetry and open mic events. They attracted a number of emerging slam poets as well as many of the finest and most seasoned artists in the field. It is there amongst his peers that KP soon realized that his style and delivery marked a stark contrast with what is more commonly viewed as slam poetry. Today, he is seen as well respected and valuable contributor to the local poetry scene. A native of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, he is arguably an unapologetically ‘vintage' slam poet mixing some mature flair with an intellectually dynamic touch peppered with gritty verses, spirituality and raw imagery. He diligently continues to be an ”armchair student” of the craft while being an informal devoted teacher of the art form. As an artist, KP views the devotion to his work, not as a task, but as an act of service for communities at large.   Kwantum was most notably featured at his book launch Up-close and Personal Interview, the B(l)ack to the Future Virtual Poetry Night as well as during a federal government lunchtime fireside chat series. In June 2022, Kwantum Peakz officially published his first poetry anthology entitled Liquid Sunshine in audiobook format currently on sale on over a dozen online distribution platform. https://inthacity.com/liquidsunshine https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/audiobook/liquid-sunshine-2 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/liquid-sunshine-kwantum-peakz/1141914355?ean=2940175023979

I Choose Me|Spoken Word|PoetryI share spoken word/poetry poems when I get the inspiration to.This poem is about choosing you. One thing I've learned is when you choose peace it comes with a lot of goodbyes.Choose yourself anyway. You will be OK either way. You've survived 100% of the worst days of your life.Advocate first for yourself. You deserve to be supported by yourself. Your boundaries are yours and you get to choose how they are enforced. Judging yourself is like throwing down an anchor when you're trying to swim.Choose yourself. Again and Again! Choose yourself without explanation. Choose yourself unconditionally, proudly and lovingly without hesitation.Thank you for listening, sharing and supporting!Love and blessings!~Amber

With every alcohol-free journey there is a story. Despair, loss and pain; some stories darker than others. Then there is the rising, the knowing and the triumphant coming back to oneself. Authors have told their stories in the popular genre of ‘Quit Lit' books and recovery memoirs. But there is another way to share this story - through poetry. Today's guest, Skye Nicholson has written a beautiful offering that tells the story of her journey through the healing power of alchemy. Alchemy, Skye shares in her book, is the process of transmutation, requiring a good serving of magic, faith and backbreaking conviction. Exactly like our journey to freedom on the other side of alcohol  I loved this episode with Skye which includes her reading two poems from her book: Unexpected Alchemy, Poems of Addiction and Awakening. Skye Nicholson is a certified This Naked Mind Empowerment Coach, and founded Soul's Truth Coaching in 2021.   Full Show Notes Here
