Rebel Poets Rising

Episode Overview
In this profound episode, Kate Harris explores the courage it takes to be "cracked open" and how our painful experiences can be woven together like Viking nail binding – an ancient technique that created virtually unbreakable fabric. She invites listeners to see how processing our pain, rather than rushing past it, transforms our breaks and scars into "battle-worthy wisdom" that becomes both stronger and more flexible than before.

Creative Prompts
  • Write about the exact moment you saw your past wounds differently - when pain transformed into power. Think about how something that once hurt you became a source of strength or guidance. What changed in that moment of realization?
  • Describe finally facing something within yourself you've been avoiding. Maybe it's a memory, a truth, or a part of yourself you've kept hidden. What surprised you most when you finally looked inside? Was it as scary as you imagined?
  • Explore what you learned when you stopped running from your dark parts and started listening to them instead. What wisdom did you find in the places you were afraid to look? How did it change you?
