In this episode, I share feelings about the latest U.S. mass shooting at a Nashville school. There's some spontaneous poetry, an excerpt from She's a poet by Lisa Clapper ©️2022, and an invitation to #FeelYourYay and #BringYourYay in joy and grief and anywhere and everywhere along the spectrum. Lots of shoutouts, metaphors, and allusions to people. Plus empaths, astrology, LeadHERship Global, and the i ching. Here are some of those people, pods, books, orgs, and links: On Being with Krista Tippett who I accidently called Krista Being at one point which is pretty true. Listen to this episode with Isabel Wilkerson the author of Caste on Spotify. or anywhere you like via the homepage We all know in our bones that things are harder than they have to be. Isabel Wilkerson Chani Nicholas whose astrology I follow along with my dear friend and rad evolutionary astrologer Rhetta Rowland I learned I was an empath working with Ber-Henda Williams Another one of my co-authors, Alix Biondo, is an empath recruiter and writes about her journey to imperfection in her chapter in our book LeadHERship Global is part of The Great LeadHERship Awakening which if you heard the last episode you know I wrote a chapter in poetry in this book I share with 23 coa-authors including Linda Fisk the founder and CEO and they too have a podcast here on spotify. Puppy and a truck song by Jenny Lewis because it's so much #FeelYourYay energy and I love her. Quentin Finney, friend, coach, meditation teacher, buddhist, guide gave me the quote on my post-it note: "May I be of benefit to at least 1 person showing myself exactly as I am." Rei Hance is a friend, rad coach and no holds barred boundary-building coach. Her book, Oracle of Emergence: An evolutionary i ching literally changes my life every time I am in relationship with it. I could #shoutout all day and I'll end here so I can get this Yay-pisode out into the world. #FeelYourYay#BringYourYay#TheYayCollective#LeadHerShipYay with love, gratitude, and collective Yay, Lisa --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yayshow/message

Hello! It's Lisa Clapper, back after a year with a new Poetic Yay Show. In this episode, I welcome you and me back and greet spring, Aries season, Ramadan, and share the first couple of tracks from my chapter. Not to mention #womenshistorymonth which I like to think of as womens HER story all the time! I’m super stoked to be part of the best-selling multi-author adventure that is The Great LeadHERship Awakening, the book. I’m one of 24 rad women telling their stories with wild hearts and soul excellence. I wrote my entire chapter in poetry in a women’s leadHERship book. How about that Yay? My chapter is called Finding your Yay: Extended Play. You can buy The Great LeadHERship Awakening on Amazon. Get a Kindle version to read right now (you don’t need a kindle) or Paperback with a soft front to contain all your notes and annotations and future author signatures. And if you dig performance poetry and want to watch me speak the words of the entire chapter, get yourself a replay from The Great LeadHERship Awakening Virtual Summit. You can also experience the magic and power of any and all of the women who brought their Yay in words her’d, we are a connected body of work. If you'd like to book me for a live poetry reading or work with a poet to tell your story in true and yayful form, all the deets are at on my website, Yay Collective. I also mention Rhetta Rowland, the raddest astrologer I know! Elimu Girls, who we're donating all the book proceeds to. Elimu’s 2-year vocational sewing program transforms Her into a confident entrepreneur. The book publisher is Kayleigh O'Keefe of Soul Excellence. Don't get me started on how excellent and soulful she is. Another time, I promise!
