Singing as the Darkness Lifts https://soopoftheday.podbean.com The title of this podcast comes from my love of three things: the sound of birds welcoming the dawn, the feeling of darkness lifting, the moments of joy that make my heart sing.

In September 2023 I started my new relationship with Mondays. I invite you to come on the journey with me as I find out what the air smells like first thing on a Monday morning, and what it feels like when you make a leap to follow a whole new journey of coaching and poetry.
