❤️ Ink, Identity, and Intuition: A Sisterhood Written in Fire & Verse ❤️
This one is more than an interview…it’s a conversation between two women, twenty-three years deep, bound by words, survival and sisterhood.
❤️🎶☕️ Love Beats & Brew / Episode 6 Recap ❤️🎶☕️
🛋️ From the Couch With My Special Guest Patricia Muckle 🛋️
✨Before Instagram, Before TikTok, before we knew what it meant to “go viral” there were poetry forums. That’s where I met Patricia, or as I knew her then “Ricanwriter”…her username. That’s how our friendship started. We shared a familiar heartache, a familiar love and what grew from that spark has carried us through decades, deaths, births, books, and two women becoming more than friends. ✨
✨ This episode is a return..to the page, to the past, to the promise that stories save lives. And Patricia? She’s proof of that. ✨
✨ My sister is a proud Puerto Rican and Irish woman, a matriarch, a mother of four, a grandmother of (almost) seven, and a two - time cancer survivor. But more than that, she’s one of the fiercest, softest, most sacred pens I’ve ever known. ✨
❤️“You ever meet someone who sees something in you before you even see it in yourself?”
That is her for me. ❤️
🎙️ Highlights From This Episode 🎙️
🎧 Catch Me Up 🎧
✨ I gave Trish the mic and let her speak in her own rhythm, sharing who she is in her own words, what she’s been holding lately, and yes..bragging about her beautiful family ✨
🎧 The First Flame 🎧
✨ We trace the roots of her voice ✨
How we met
Her first pieces of writing
How she found her voice
And the power of writing when no one is watching
“She told me I was a writer before I even whispered it to myself”
🎧 Writing as Ceremony 🎧
✨ We talk about healing through storytelling..grief, motherhood, survival, and how writing has kept her grounded. She shares the stories that scared her, healed her, and still hold her close.
🎧 Womanhood, Mothering & Magic 🎧
✨A tender exploration of how we evolve as women. How our softness becomes our strength. How we learn to mother ourselves before we mother others and how the fire doesn’t fade..it just begins to burn deeper. ✨
🎧 Legacy & Language 🎧
✨ We close with the question: What do you want to leave behind with your words and what would you tell the younger version of us now? ✨
💌 Kell’s Final Thought 💌
Some sisterhoods are stitched in the ordinary but some…
Some are forged in fire…
Bound by the ink we spill..
Healed by the words we pass back and forth when life becomes too much for silence..
Patricia is that for me..
She stood at the edge of my story when I didn’t know how to begin..
She held the mirror. She held the page.. She held me..
And in this conversation, I hope you feel what I felt..
That storytelling is survival..
That sisterhood in medicine..
That your voice..raw..messy..sacred..is worth everything.
So if there’s a story in your spirit..
Write it..
Whisper it..
Cry or scream it out if you have too..
But …do …not…bury…it..
