đď¸In this soulful episode of the Rough Draft Podcast, host Sabrina Greer sits down with poet and trauma-informed educator Krista Lee Beeler, whose debut poetry collection Cry With Me Sister: We Rise at Dawn is now available worldwide.
Krista shares her journey of transforming lived experiencesâgrowing up with addiction in her home, surviving sexual abuse, and navigating perfectionism and physical illnessâinto poetry that became both her own healing and a gift of sisterhood for others. She speaks about the power of remembrance, emotional literacy, and breaking cycles through art, writing, and collective circles of women.
Together, Sabrina and Krista explore:
How breakdowns can become portals to breakthroughs
The importance of emotional education and prevention work with children
The healing spiral and how poetry became Kristaâs voice after silence
The rise of sisterhood and womenâs circles as powerful spaces of transformation
Balancing inclusivity while protecting sacred spaces for womenâs healing
Krista also reads one of her deeply moving poems, reminding us that healing is messy, nonlinear, and profoundly beautiful.
