Holiday Mini 3: The Silent Suffering | A Poem Reading + Discussion w/ Kara Berasi
Manage episode 456452223 series 3248851
What if the hardest part of your journey was the part no one saw? The silent suffering that happens behind closed doors, in the dark hours of the night, when the mask comes off and the tears flow.
In this mini-episode, I’m joined by Kara Berasi, who shares her powerful poem, The Silent Suffering. We talk about the emotional weight of caregiving, the exhaustion of advocacy, and the struggle to be honest about the pain. We also cover the way that sharing through art can allow the people who love us to get a glimpse into these often unseen parts of our lives.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of it all, alone, this one’s for you.
