In this deeply honest conversation, Melbourne-based writer and spoken word artist Franks Martin opens up about the evolution of love; from the tenderness of first infatuations to the ache of heartbreak and the quiet beauty of healing. Together we explore what it means to keep your heart open after loss, to write through longing, and to transform pain into art.
Franks reflects on the relationships that have shaped her, the emotions that have challenged her pen, and the wisdom that time brings to love; from fiery chemistry to grounded connection. We talk about protecting softness without closing off, the surrender that love asks of us, and the ways self-love becomes both muse and mirror in creative life.
This episode is for anyone who has loved deeply, written from heartbreak, or found transformation in the spaces between letting go and holding on.
