It's All Poetry

You are a "self..." right? But what does that mean exactly? And if we don't know the meaning of self, then can we even begin to fathom the meaning of "self-care"? These are just some of the questions we tackle in today's episode with guest, Jenine Camins. Jenine is a life coach who specializes in guiding women through personal and professional transitions. Tune in to le...

In Webster’s 1828 dictionary, “translate” is first defined as: “To bear, carry or remove from one place to another.” Isn’t this a fascinating way to think about the way we use the word today to talk about language? It evokes travels, evolutions, even the hero’s journey to the underworld and back… In today’s episode, Nicole and her expert guest, Amy Hallberg, do a deep dive on the word “translate,”...

Ever wake up from a dream so vivid you swear it was real? Or have you woken with just one word or image swirling around in your brain that you can’t quite make sense of? This week, Nicole Cloutier is thrilled to host Rachel Strivelli, an intuitive guide and author of "Talk to the Trees," who brings her wealth of knowledge on dreams, psychic intuition, and the transformative power of art....

Words, like all living things, evolve. Which means they also branch away from each other and sometimes you have to look at a word from multiple angles, and in multiple languages, to get a full picture of what it means and the effect it has on those of us who speak it. In this episode I'm joined by Elise Aabakken — who is a coach, a dancer, an artist, and performer at Disneyland Paris, and a sp...

I’m going to be honest, we go a lot of places in this episode. The throughline? Poetry. Poetry and how we organize our values, poetry and rituals, poetry and manifestation, poetry at the end of a crumbling empire… I told you. We touch on a lot. Tune in to hear: Why we (i.e., humans) choose “words of the year” — and another ritual you might want to try. A few poems! And how poetry defies timelines....

The marketing ick — we all suffer from it from time to time (yes, even a couple of well seasoned copywriters). For Nicole, the ick caused her to actually quit copywriting for a few years. She likes to think she came back better for it, but the truth is that ethical marketing requires constant check-ins. That's part of what fellow copywriter Cleoniki Kesidis and Nicole get into on this episode....

“Somatics” — such a hot word right now. It feels like every other TikTok therapist is talking about it. Which on one hand is great — we love that people are paying more attention to their bodies. But before we get caught up in meme culture, let’s take a step back and dive into what somatics really means and how it can be a part of your healing journey. In today’s episode, certified Somatic Practit...

“Beauty” … such a loaded word, isn’t it? (I hear it’s even been known to sink a ship or two.) No matter what we think we think about "beauty," the truth is that the concept impacts EVERYTHING in our lives — from art to the environment to our health to the way we spend our dollars and the way we see ourselves. This week, I chat with Alicia Maxwell (aka your beauty bestie ) about the words...

Words! The building blocks of our societies, beliefs, the way we view our lives and those we share our lives with. Today, we’re just breaking the ice with a little chat about why so many of us think we’re not good writers — and how we can change that so that we can, you know, build our lives as we’d like to. It’s short, sweet, and will set you up for our course of study on language. Resources &amp...

Welcome to It's All Poetry, a podcast about words and how we use them. I know, big topic! Ultimately, my goal is for you to fall so deeply in love with words that you can use them to create a world that you want to live in — whether that's by making money off of your own product, negotiating a raise, or writing a poem that brings a whole auditorium to tears. Words are magic and if you don&...
