Malone","episode_count":62,"summary":"Ink Speak : A Podcast for Storytellers, Dreamers & Seekers Have you ever felt like there’s more to life than what you’re living? I did too, until I set fire to the life I thought I was supposed to have and chose myself instead. Once choice led to another and I crash landed here, to tell the story of the magic that happened along the way. I’m Maverick Malone ( @mavmalone )—author, poet, and spoken word artist—and this podcast is a space for everyone. Most podcasts teach, interview, or perform, but this one just lives. It's a podcast you step into. Ink Speak is where personal storytelling meets poetry, magic, and the raw human experience. Each episode feels like sitting down together in real time. Sometimes I’m in my backyard, sometimes I’m traveling, sometimes I’m in the middle of something I don’t fully understand yet. But wherever I am, you’re right there with me. Every episode begins with a poem or spoken word piece that sets the tone, then unfolds into raw, unfiltered storytelling—about love, loss, transformation, spirituality, and the in-between moments most people don’t share. This is a space for thinking differently, seeing your life from a new angle, and feeling a little le…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-06T12:19:02.371741+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875"},"episode":{"title":"41. “The Pharmacy is Open” - On Love, the Inner Child/Mother, and What Dreams Reveal","slug":"41-the-pharmacy-is-open-on-love-the-inner-child-mother-and-what-dreams-reveal","published_at":"2025-04-01T11:00:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875/41-the-pharmacy-is-open-on-love-the-inner-child-mother-and-what-dreams-reveal","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/inkspeak/1962771","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/212166/1962771/inkspeak/2025_03_28_22_38_18_e1ca926f-be92-40d0-a703-ad2ffe39fd38.mp3","summary":"This episode begins with a poem (an invocation, really) about love as medicine. The kind that finds us at our most depleted and still asks us to show up, gently. I talk about pushing through a heavy day with no energy left, the moment a song pulled me through, and how a simple reel cracked something open in me, revealing a quiet ache from my inner child that I didn’t expect. What followed was a dream so intense it had me sobbing the next morning… a dream that blurred the line between mother and daughter, hope and heartbreak. I unpack it all (with help from ChatGPT!) and reflect on the sacred work of raising a child while reparenting yourself. I touch on: How you can use shuffle mode for musical divine guidance How to have self-compassion, especially with parenting The importance of decoding dreams and what mine revealed about guilt, hope, and motherhood And how we can use dreams, music, and AI for healing and personal growth This one’s for anyone navigating exhaustion, guilt, healing, and the power of choosing love, even when it’s the hardest thing to do.
