無料で聴く

Join writer and host, Jill Hodge, as she shares her creative self-care journey through a soulful mashup of storytelling, spoken word poetry, and music. Part self-help/part performing arts, this podcast explores personal growth through a creative lens.


Through an immersive backdrop of music and soundscapes, Jill explores a variety of practices and tools drawn from positive psychology, like mindfulness, positive reframing, gratitude, and creative flow.

Dive into creative self-care techniques such as journal writing and affirmation meditations. You’ll find journal prompts at the end of every episode to guide your own self-reflection.


This podcast was born out of the struggle (and then insight) that Jill experienced as she dealt with her mother’s ailing health. She turned to creative expression for comfort and discovered the life-changing ways that it revealed a path toward a more purposeful life. In verse form: “I thought I’d lost myself along a road that was seldom straight or supple, but after the broken shards fell away, I glimpsed the undergrowth. From every tear that had fallen, nestled in life’s rich soil, there sprang a stalk, now entangled and evergreen. Exhausted, I rested under the lush canopy. This is my story.”


Let Jill inspire your creative self-care journey as she shares her “reflections from the bright side of the beat” and join this growing community by connecting with her at https://www.lettheverseflow.com/.

  • A New Chapter: Podcast Hiatus & Audiobook Narration Journey

    A New Chapter: Podcast Hiatus & Audiobook Narration Journey
    2026/05/27

    After three years of storytelling, spoken word poetry, and reflections on creativity, grief, caregiver self-care, and healing, Let the Verse Flow is taking an extended hiatus as I transition more fully into audiobook narration.

    What started as a way to channel my creativity turned out to be intimately tied to the grief I felt over my mom's illness and passing. I've learned so much from podcasting -- personal revelations, how to use poetry and journaling to express my emotions, and technical audio production skills. But I most cherish the new connections I made with listeners who supported and guided the show.

    Thank you for listening, sharing, and growing alongside me. This isn’t goodbye — it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

  • Leave the World Better Than You Found It (Part 10)

    Leave the World Better Than You Found It (Part 10)
    2026/05/20
    In this episode, I reflect on my mother’s final life lesson (#10): the idea that we each can do our part to leave the world better than we found it. We can get granular in our thinking and understand the impact of small acts of kindness—attention, presence, and everyday compassion. My mom did it by getting to know people through a lens of discovery and acceptance. Drawing from memories of my mother’s way of moving through the world in a way that honored an individual's intrinsic beauty and worth. I think we all learn something about the beautiful way she saw others, and consider how it helps amplify our impact and our intention to reduce harm, and contribute meaningfully through everyday interactions.Music: All music for my podcast is sourced and licensed for use via Soundstripe.Songs in this episode: Creepin by Ghost Beatz; Some Kind of Wonderful by Nu Alkemi$t; Con Sazón by In This WorldPoem: Soft FeathersRelated Episodes: You Are Not an Island: The Power of Letting Others Care for You (Part 9) - Episode 72Start Before You’re Ready: Creative Courage and the Power of Experimentation (Part 8) - Episode 71The Healing Power of Touch - Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 7) - Episode 70Learn the Language of Nature — Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 6) - Episode #69Being Hateful is Incompatible with Being Whole – Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 5) - Episode #68Giving Without Expectation – Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 4) - Episode #67Take Notice of Little, Beautiful Things — Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 3) - Episode #66Recognize the Good in Others — Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 2) – Episode #65Let People Know You Love Them — Lessons My Mama Taught Me (Part 1) - Episode #64Art Appreciation for a Weary World - Episode 50Mother Teresa on Doing Small Things with Great Love - Episode 48Journal Prompts:1.

  • You Are Not an Island: The Power of Letting Others Care for You (Part 9)

    You Are Not an Island: The Power of Letting Others Care for You (Part 9)
    2026/05/06

    We are not meant to get through life alone. In this episode, I share my mom’s ninth lesson: the importance of letting others take care of you.

    Today's spoken word piece, one of my new favorites, is about how we aren't islands. Even if we don't recognize it, we don't live in a vacuum. We need connection; even when the world feels intrusive, and people are "too much to handle," we still need anchors in our lives. Those are the people we can really count on. The ones who truly care about our lives. Asking those people for help or letting them take care of you when you need it makes your life better – and gives their lives purpose.
