149 - "May I Only Leave Rose Petals" with J.S. Drake

“Wherever you walk, leave a trail of rose petals.” - J.S. Drake   Today's featured author is overcomer and poet, J. S. Drake. Jessica and I talk about how poetry helped her move through her Dark Night of the Soul, what that is and tons more!   Key Takeaways: Writing and being vulnerable helps your soul become free. It’s okay to be vulnerable. The dark night of the soul is a deep depression where nothing makes sense. It’s okay to make mistakes if you learn from them. “You are enough.”   Jessica's Book: https://www.amazon.com/May-Only-Leave-Rose-Petals/dp/1945026499/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?crid=2WREZ9096S5G4&keywords=may+i+only+leave+rose+petals+j.s.+drake&qid=1551543526&s=gateway&sprefix=may+i+only+l%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1-fkmrnull Jessica's IG: https://www.instagram.com/mayionlyleaverosepetals/ Jessica's FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/MayIOnlyLeaveRosePetals/   A special shoutout goes to MagicMusicX (@magicmusicx) for his track "Deep In Thought".
