Bonjour!
On this episode of the BeSharp Podcast we get a lil' theoretical and dive into the deeper meaning of second chances at two fronts: The Doppelgänger and Déjà vu! In our exploration we parse out the ways we can use these chances to course correct our lives and bottle lightning as it has struck twice!
Sorry it's been a couple of weeks-- I got sad! I've been overthinking a lot and thought a lot about this episode!! Have fun :)
On this 17th episode of the BeSharp Podcast I get a bit experimental-- not quite a poem-- this podcast see's me monologue a bit about the wear and tear of experience. The woes and wonders if you will... this may not be everyone's speed so I'm back to the regular format next week!
I've been a little down so thanks for listening, it means the world 😊
Another Poem while I'm in this slump fml. I don't really feel like a phoenix right now but I do feel burnt out lmao. Anyways, here's the Chinese translation:
Rolling Yangtze River east passing water waves poured out heroes success or failure, turning head empty green hills are still in a few degrees of sunset red hair in shaking the main home to see the autumn moon and spring breeze a pot of dance turbid wine west meet, how many things in the past and present are laughing about.
I like this, this is simple.
Hey y'all! This week I've got another poem for you (I've been in the poem mood tbh, maybe it's just because I'm closing into the final weeks of the semester I'm a bit lazzzyyy).

Tend to the garden and butterflies will come… and if they don’t come you still have a beautiful garden 🦋
This week is a poem titled Tempest Tantrum, I made this in the middle of a snowstorm and I was in my feelings or something-- idk. Hope you like it though ❄️!
On this bleaker episode of the BeSharp Podcast we chat about what it feels like to recover from a 🌪️ depressive 🌪️ episode and the approaches of active and passive recovery. I'm too sad to write more of a description so I'll just paste a quote:
“I am bent, but not broken. I am scarred, but not disfigured. I am sad, but not hopeless. I am tired, but not powerless. I am angry, but not bitter. I am depressed, but not giving up.” — Anonymous
On this episode of the BeSharp Podcast we chat about the perks 🤗 of moving away from home and traveling! Honestly, this is a fun episode to make-- I chat about never having had the imagination that I'd be able to move away from home and suddenly I do.
I promise getting out of your hometown in whatever capacity is a transformative experience. Remember, you can always come back!!! Benefitting largely from getting out of my own head and feelings a gaining perspective, clarity, and moreover, being tested as an adult I'm better for it! Learn to love being a vagabond 🧭
