概要
 The Words in the Wilderness podcast is for those who have the conviction to make changes in their life as they drag their feet through the messy middle, crying into the void "it ends with me." Led by Jacky Power - The Therapeutic Poet - these are conversations that look underneath the label, the diagnosis, the tidy explanation, at what's actually going on. If you've made a decision to change your life and now you're in that wobbly, lonely bit where nobody quite gets what you're going through, I made this for you. Because I've been there. Many times. Each episode starts with one of my own poems, using therapeutic poetry to set the scene. Sometimes it's just me, unpacking human tricky things. Sometimes it's a guest - a therapist, a coach, someone whose lived experience has taught them something worth passing on. We talk about leaving what doesn't fit anymore, about breaking the patterns you inherited and don't want to leave as your legacy, about all your human tricky things that you've maybe been taught to hide. I'm Jacky Power and I'm on a mission to rehumanise, one poem at a time. Reminding you that you have permission to feel and use those feelings as data to decode, not symptoms to squash.

  • Sing me the song of home - what makes a house a home with award winning interior designer Sallie King

    Sing me the song of home - what makes a house a home with award winning interior designer Sallie King
    2026/11/11

    What makes a house feel like home when life changes?


    We often picture home as a place: a particular building, a certain number of rooms, or the life we thought we would have. But what if home is less about getting everything to look right, and more about creating a space that supports the way we really live?


    In this episode of Words in the Wilderness, I’m joined by Sallie King, an award-winning London property stager and interior designer. Sallie shares how, after her divorce, a question from her son, “Where’s home?” made her realise that her family needed a sense of home and a place to land. We talk about creating that feeling within the four walls you have, even when they’re not the home you once imagined.


    Our conversation explores the pressure to create a picture-perfect home, and how easy it is to let images from Pinterest and Instagram shape what we think our space should look like. Sallie offers a different starting point: What would feel nourishing when you come home? What needs to change so that your space works for the people who live in it?


    We talk about making room for yourself, especially when you’re caring for others; letting go of household rules that no longer fit; and designing around real life instead of trying to protect a perfect-looking room. Sometimes that means a bedroom that feels like a retreat, dinner on the sofa, or a home where everyone can relax.


    Home can also carry the story of who we were and what we’ve been through. Sallie reflects on why editing our belongings can feel emotional, and how the things we hold onto may belong to a previous version of ourselves. We also discuss practical ways to make a space feel warmer and more personal, from clearing what no longer serves you to bringing in plants, texture and layered lighting.


    At the heart of this conversation is the question: Does your home reflect the life you’re living now or the life you thought you were supposed to have?


    In this episode

    • How a question from Sallie’s son helped her rethink what “home” means.
    • Why home is about more than the building, its size or the number of rooms.
    • How to begin designing a space around the way you and your family actually live.
    • The pressure of comparing our homes with idealised images online.
    • Why making space for yourself matters, especially when you’re caring for others.
    • How letting go of household rules can make a home feel more relaxed.
    • What small-space living can teach us about using rooms intentionally.
    • How a home can reflect the people who live there, including children’s different needs and interests.
    • Why decluttering can be emotionally loaded, and how belongings can connect us to an earlier version of ourselves.
    • Sallie’s ideas for making a room feel more homely, including plants, texture and layered lighting.
    • How to create a home that reflects your life now.

  • The Fear of Being Yourself: What It Costs Us to Fit In

    The Fear of Being Yourself: What It Costs Us to Fit In
    2026/11/03
    What happens when the things we do to feel accepted start to disconnect us from ourselves? We all want to belong, to feel valued and to know that we have a place in the lives of the people around us. But sometimes, in our efforts to maintain connection, we learn to hide parts of ourselves, keep the peace and become the person we think others need us to be. And while fitting in can help us feel accepted, it doesn't always mean we feel truly seen.In this episode of Words in the Wilderness, I'm joined by Natasha Ramlall of Humanist Coaching for a conversation about belonging, self-expression and the fear of being ourselves. We explore how we learn to curate versions of ourselves to maintain harmony and connection, why certain parts of us can feel safer to keep hidden, and what happens when the ways we've learned to fit in no longer feel right.Our conversation explores the fear that can come with trying to change patterns. When we begin expressing ourselves differently, we may worry about disappointing people, disrupting relationships or being misunderstood. We even risk becoming the villain in someone else's story when we start choosing not to abandon our own needs. Which can feel oh so uncomfortable, particularly when our sense of identity and belonging has been built around keeping other people happy.There's a real difference between fitting in and belonging, which we get into, and we chat about how that can influence feelings of loneliness. Sometimes, we maintain relationships by suppressing the very things that would allow others to know us more fully. We explore the distinction between social loneliness and emotional loneliness: having fewer social connections as relationships change, versus feeling unseen or disconnected even when people are around. What might it mean to let ourselves be seen differently? This isn't about disregarding other people or insisting that every relationship must accommodate us in every way. It's about recognising the difference between caring for our relationships and repeatedly abandoning ourselves to preserve them. We talk about the importance of community, witnessing and experiencing connection where we don't have to hide quite so much of who we are.At the heart of this conversation is a question about what we are really longing for when we seek belonging and how our fears may be prolonging that longing.In this episodeHow our need for belonging can shape the versions of ourselves we present to others.Why we learn to recognise which parts of ourselves feel safe to express and which we feel we need to hide.The difference between fitting in and experiencing a genuine sense of belonging.How people-pleasing, keeping the peace and prioritising harmony can disconnect us from our own needs.Why changing familiar patterns can bring up fears of rejection, disappointment and losing relationships.Natasha's reflection on being willing to become the villain in someone else's story rather than abandon her own needs.The loneliness of fitting in and feeling unseen, even when we're surrounded by people.The difference between social loneliness and emotional loneliness.Why becoming more ourselves can sometimes mean feeling less connected to familiar people and places.The discomfort of moving away from old patterns before new forms of connection have emerged.The importance of community, witnessing and learning to be seen without feeling rejected.What it might mean to honour our longing for connection, acceptance and belonging without abandoning ourselves.Meet Natasha RamlallNatasha Ramlall is an embodied integration coach who helps self-aware women turn what they know about themselves into how they actually live. She works with women who are tired of overthinking, holding themselves back, overriding what they feel or understanding their patterns without being able to change them.

  • The Sacredness of the Pause: Yin Yoga, Inner Peace and Learning to Honour Our Capacity with Carli Ann Langley

    The Sacredness of the Pause: Yin Yoga, Inner Peace and Learning to Honour Our Capacity with Carli Ann Langley
    2026/10/28
    What happens when we stop striving, slow down and allow ourselves to be with whatever is present? In a world that encourages us to keep moving, achieving and improving ourselves, finding stillness can feel surprisingly challenging. Yet sometimes, it is in the pause that we begin to reconnect with ourselves.In this episode of Words in the Wilderness, I'm joined by Carli Ann Langley, a Yin Yoga and Meditation Specialist with over 1,400 hours of training, who has been teaching yoga full-time for 13 years. Through her work with Yin yoga, meditation and trauma-informed practice, Carli Ann creates spaces where people can slow down, find greater ease and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves.We begin with a short heart-centred meditation, exploring the connection between breath, gratitude and the nervous system. From there, we talk about why stillness can sometimes feel uncomfortable, how slowing down can bring us into contact with difficult emotions, and why we need to approach our feelings with compassion rather than force ourselves to face everything before we're ready.Carli Ann shares why Yin yoga is so much more than a slow or gentle physical practice. By staying in poses and allowing space between them, we can begin to notice how we respond to discomfort, uncertainty and challenge. We explore the importance of the pause or rebound in Yin, and how learning to rest between one thing and the next can help us cultivate a different relationship with the pace of our lives.Our conversation also explores trauma, the relationship between body and mind, and why talking therapies can be complemented by practices that help us develop a sense of safety in the body. Carli Ann reflects on her own journey towards peace, the life experiences that have shaped her understanding of boundaries, and the ways yoga has helped her reconnect with something she feels was missing earlier in life.We talk about the difference between capability and capacity: the distinction between what we're able to do and what we genuinely have the resources to hold. Together, we explore how hyper-independence, the pressure to be strong and the habit of putting others first can leave us disconnected from our own needs. Carli Ann offers a important reminder that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and that boundaries are a skill we can learn, beginning with listening to our bodies.We also consider the importance of rest, particularly for women, and why it needs to be treated as a skill rather than a luxury we can only afford when everything else is done. In a world increasingly shaped by technology and AI, we reflect on the irreplaceable value of human connection, embodied wisdom, compassion and the felt experience of being alive.And we finish with practical advice for anyone wanting to begin a meditation practice. Carli Ann encourages us to start small, let our minds wander without judgement and release the expectation that meditation means stopping our thoughts.At the heart of this conversation is an invitation to slow down, honour our capacity and trust that we don't have to push ourselves to the limit to grow. Sometimes, the most meaningful thing we can do is pause.In this episodeWhy slowing down and sitting with ourselves can feel so uncomfortable.A guided heart-centred meditation using breath and gratitude.Yin yoga as a practice of self-compassion, stillness and emotional awareness.Why difficult feelings can arise in yoga and the importance of meeting them when we're ready.The role of the nervous system and the relationship between body-based practices and talking therapies.The importance of the pause, rest and the rebound in Yin yoga.Learning to recognise our boundaries through the body's felt sense of what is enough.The difference between capability and capacity, and why being able to do something doesn't always mean we have the resources for it.How trauma and hyper-independence can shape our relationship with rest, boundaries and asking for help.Why rest is a skill to practise rather than a reward for getting everything done.The value of human connection, compassion and embodied wisdom in an increasingly technological world.How to begin meditating with just five to ten minutes, without needing to silence your thoughts.Finding inner peace not through perfection, but through a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.Meet Carli Ann LangleyCarli Ann Langley is a Yin Yoga and Meditation Specialist, Yin Yoga Therapist and trauma-informed practitioner with over 1,400 hours of training.
