Beneath the Stanza Pod Notes: The (My) Blind Spot
Sometimes, the hardest beauty to see is the one within ourselves.
In this week’s episode of Heart of the Paige, I open up about the hidden spaces where we don’t recognize our own artistry—the blind spots in our reflection. As poets, creators, and simply as people, we often miss what others clearly see in us. We water flowers in the hearts of others without ever realizing we planted them
This episode is both a poem and a conversation about:
The way perfectionism can keep us from seeing our own art.
What it feels like to drift past mirrors without truly recognizing yourself.
How our creations live beyond us, touching others in ways we may never notice.
The importance of honoring the seeds we’ve already planted with our words, actions, and presence.
Reflection prompt for you: Where in your life do you have a blind spot—something others admire in you that you tend to overlook?
