Ever wonder how the poet whose videos you’ve probably seen on TikTok and Instagram, where millions follow her, turns life’s messiest moments into art that heals?

In this soul-stirring episode, Josie Balka joins Sarah Grynberg to share the story behind her celebrated poetry and the deeply personal journey that fuels it. From surviving a near-fatal surgery to learning self-acceptance in a world obsessed with appearances, Josie opens up about love, loss, friendship, and the quiet beauty in the everyday.

You’ll learn:
*Why chasing the “perfect body” left Josie emptier than she imagined and what truly filled the gap.
*How to find beauty in the mundane and celebrate the small, unglamorous wins.
*Why friendships, like favourite jeans, can be outgrown and how that can still be a gift.

This episode is a gentle reminder that the things we survive, the people we love (and lose), and the words we choose can shape a life not just worth living but worth remembering.
