Naked Truths: Love, Loss & Healing Through Poetry with Lacretia White

July 15, 2025 • Jarrett • Season 3 • Episode 20

In this vulnerable and soul-stirring episode, I sit down with poet and author Lacretia White, the voice behind the powerful poetry collection Naked. This raw and emotional body of work explores the depths of love, loss, heartbreak, healing, and rediscovery.

We dive into the inspiration behind her writing, her decision to finally share pieces she once kept hidden, and why she chose the title Naked to represent such deeply personal emotions. Lacretia opens up about the writing process, the pain that birthed these poems, and the freedom that came with releasing them into the world.

From double entendres and runaway letters to heartbreak that hits like a drug, we explore specific verses from the book—including fan favorites like “Little Lost Flower,” “I Will Wait,” and “Are You the One?” She also reflects on the evolution of her faith, how heartbreak reshaped her capacity to love, and the role of forgiveness in healing.

If you've ever loved deeply, hurt quietly, or healed slowly—this conversation is for you.
