About this listen

How Are You? I Am Alive Blessed and Challenged! is not just a collection of poetry—it’s a declaration. A scream. A whisper. A hand reaching out from the wreckage and saying, I’m still here.

Sharliene Phillips shares her story through unfiltered, gut-honest verse—tackling trauma, abuse, anxiety, healing, sexuality, depression, survival, and everything in between. These poems carry scars and strength, tears and laughter, rage and resilience. Whether you’ve lived it, survived it, or are still fighting through it, this book offers a mirror, a light, and a voice that refuses to stay silent.

SHARLIENE PHILLIPS is a U.S.-based poet who writes from the edge of survival and the heart of truth. Her words are unpolished on purpose—deliberately real, defiantly vulnerable, and grounded in the messy, beautiful experience of being human. She writes for anyone who’s ever been hurt, silenced, overlooked, or underestimated—and for those still standing in the storm. When she’s not writing, Sharliene is binge-watching her favorite dramas, loving fiercely, and reminding herself (and others) that being alive is both a blessing and a challenge—and that’s more than enough.
