<p><b>Inside the Village</b> is a podcast sharing conversations from within a living creative ecosystem about writing, creativity, leadership, relationship, and what it means to bring something meaningful into the world without losing yourself in the process.</p><p>Hosted by <b>Amanda Johnson, founder of Awaken Village Press</b>, the show offers a window into the real, ongoing conversations happening inside the Village, alongside authors, collaborators, and friends who are exploring slower, more relational ways of creating and belonging.</p><p>Episodes take different forms—gatherings at the table, quiet reflections by the fire, and one-on-one conversations at the threshold—each offering space for honesty, inquiry, and speaking from the middle of the journey, not the polished end.</p><p>This isn’t a how-to show or a performance of expertise. It’s an invitation into a living conversation, and into a way of creating that values depth, integrity, and connection over speed or scale.</p>
