In this heartfelt Spotlight Interview, I’m joined by Annathia of Sagely Poetry for a gentle, meaningful conversation about creativity, legacy, and honoring the stories that live on through art.

We talk about their journey with poetry and short stories, what it’s been like publishing their own books, and the goals and hurdles they’re currently navigating as a creative. We also reflect on love, loss, and the powerful act of bringing their mother’s poems to life — turning a lifelong dream into something that can be shared, remembered, and held close.

This episode is a reminder that art can hold grief, joy, memory, and healing all at once — and that continuing to create can be a beautiful way to move forward.

This is the first episode in a new Letter for… series — short, gentle episodes written and read like a letter from a friend.

In this episode, I’m sharing words meant for those moments when you feel behind, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning if you’re doing enough. It’s a reminder that your effort matters, your pace is valid, and you’re allowed to keep building without rushing.

If affirmations feel nice but don’t always fully land, this letter is meant to meet you where you are — offering comfort, encouragement, and a little extra support when you need it most.

In this Deep Blog Dive, I reflect on a simple but meaningful tradition — writing a letter to my future self at the start of the year. I share what I wrote, how it helped me stay mindful and kind to myself through 2025, and how even small reflections can bring perspective, encouragement, and growth.

Are you planning to write a letter to your future self this year? Or maybe you have another yearly tradition that helps keep you grounded and inspired? I’d love to hear about it — leave a comment or share your experience!
