One Rhyme At A Time - Unpacking the Meaning and the Muse Poetry Meets Mental Wellness Podcast

We all experience feelings of anxiety in our lives. In this episode, we feature the poem "My Time Box" by Neelanjan Patri and an inspired discussion with Jamelia Knox, MS, MFT on the topic of "Anxiety, Anxiousness and Angst." Join in the conversation by sending your poetry on this topic to us at RNCPoetry@gmail.com for the opportunity to have your poem read on a future episode.

We will share a new episode the Thursday after the 3rd Wednesday each month at 7PM. Thanks to RISE Chattanooga's Amplify series and WUTC 88.1, Chattanooga's NPR Station along with the support of First Property Management and our guests for making these discussions possible.

What is One Rhyme At A Time - Unpacking the Meaning and the Muse Poetry Meets Mental Wellness Podcast?

This podcast shines a light on the connection between the creating and consumption of poetry and mental wellness. Each episode features one poet sharing one poem and a discussion about the inspiration and writing of the poem. This is followed by a conversation inspired by the poem on a topic that is discussed with a mental health professional. This is not meant to replace getting care from a mental health professional and is not meant to diagnose or treat any condition or illness. It's purpose is to normalize the importance of having these discussions, having a creative outlet and seeking your own mental and emotional support.

Join in the conversation by sending your own poetry inspired by these topics to us at RNCPoetry@gmail.com for the opportunity to have your poem read on a future episode.

This is a monthly podcast that airs on Thursday after the 3rd Wednesday each month at 7PM. Thanks to all supporters for making this conversation possible.
