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":"53. “Inevitable Magic” - SEASON 3 PREMIERE! // Why I Disappeared & the New Beginning We're In","slug":"53-inevitable-magic-season-3-premiere-why-i-disappeared-the-new-beginning-we-re-in","published_at":"2026-04-09T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875/53-inevitable-magic-season-3-premiere-why-i-disappeared-the-new-beginning-we-re-in","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/inkspeak/2695231","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/212166/2695231/inkspeak/2026_04_06_23_39_12_fdbcdb3f-225b-45a6-8a89-4ab273c68d9a.mp3","summary":"I ghosted social media for months, but I couldn't stay away forever. In this season 3 premiere, I’m sitting in my backyard with an iced coffee, talking to you the way I would like two friends catching up after months apart. This episode is a laundry list of so many things I haven't said. It's where I've been and what's happened in the in-between, in all its messy, unraveling, void glory. And yet through so many changes, shifts and endings, I found unexpected magic along the way. In this episode, we move through endings and beginnings together, both in my life and in the world around us. I talk about where I’ve been, what the “spiritual void” actually feels like, and why it’s not something to fear, but something that completely reshapes you. We get into perspective, hope, 2026 as the Age of Discernment, and why so many of us have felt unseen or out of place lately. I also share something I’ve been holding onto for years, including a first (cinematic!) glimpse into my third book, From August to Aquarius . This is not a polished episode. It's just me, sitting in my backyard, recording straight from my iPhone (clinking iced coffee & singing birds included). It’s real and raw, and these are my favorite kinds of episodes to record because of what I intend: to invite you into my world and to really connect. If you’ve been moving through change, feeling a little lost, or just missing a place where you can take a beat & breathe for a minute, this is the place, my friend. Welcome. Want to stay tuned to the Maviverse 311.8FM? Catch me on Substack at Mentally I'm Here or on Instagram (for now) - @mavmalone . If you're curious about preordering From August to Aquarius , you can do so here.","meta_description":"I ghosted social media for months, but I couldn't stay away forever.
