S1E19: Your Soul is a River: Healing Through the Poetry of Nikita Gill

What if your soul isn’t something to fix but something to rise with?

In this soothing and evocative episode of Read, Reflect, Rise, host Wils Struthers-Cooper invites you to reconnect with the current of your inner life through the luminous, poetic voice of Nikita Gill. Drawing from Gill’s evocative collection Your Soul is a River, Wils explores how we can meet ourselves not with judgment, but with gentleness, flowing with, not against, who we are, and what we are becoming.

You’ll hear a carefully chosen excerpt from Nikita’s work followed by a guided moment of reflection to help you realign. You’ll leave with an affirmation to anchor intothroughout your week, because your soul deserves space to rise too.

This episode is for anyone navigating emotional healing, spiritual fatigue, inner growth, or simply longing for permission to rest, feel, and begin again.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why Nikita Gill’s poetry is balm for the soul
• How to soften into yourself instead of striving to connect
• A short meditative reflection led by Wils to gently reconnect you to the universe
• A weekly affirmation designed to encourage flow, strength, and compassion
