Poetic Resurrection explores creativity, insight, poetry, and the art of being human. Hosted by author and multidisciplinary artist Sonia Iris Lozada, the podcast features conversations with writers, artists, thinkers, and creators, alongside poetic reflections and seasonal themes. From storytelling and creative process to personal evolution and lived experience, each episode offers inspiration, meaningful dialogue, and a genuine look at what it means to live a creative, aware, and wholehearted life.
In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, Sonia shares her poem Important to Me—a deeply personal reflection on boundaries, emotional independence, and the journey back to self-worth.
Blending poetry, psychology, and spirituality, this episode explores how external expectations can shape identity, and how reclaiming personal truth becomes an act of healing. Sonia reflects on self-preservation, the fear that can keep us stuck, and the quiet strength required to move forward.
This episode is for anyone learning to release what no longer belongs to them and step into a life aligned with what truly matters.
