About this episode

I'm thrilled to bring you this inspiring conversation with the incredible Rupi Kaur, celebrating the 10th anniversary of her groundbreaking book "Milk and Honey". In our chat, Rupi opens up about her remarkable journey of self-discovery and finding her voice as an artist. It's fascinating to hear how she's overcome self-doubt and grown in confidence over the years, despite achieving massive success at such a young age. We dive deep into discussions about creativity, spirituality, and relationships, exploring how these themes have evolved in Rupi's life and work. Her insights on the power of vulnerability in art and the healing nature of poetry are truly profound. Rupi's reflections on how her perspective has changed over the past decade offer valuable wisdom for anyone on a path of self-improvement. Whether you're a long-time fan of Rupi's work or new to her poetry, I know you'll find this intimate discussion both enlightening and inspiring.
