Spoken Word by Anamika is a storytelling podcast for personal journeys, we refrain from the mundane and overused interview setting and focus more on healing through vulnerability. You will find poems, open letters, personal journal entries, scribblings and musings from those really challenging days, and similar articles uttered on this podcast. The focus is solely on healing, we heal through the power of words. This is your safe space to address the most difficult experiences in your life and to inspire others. Come forward, embrace vulnerability, and share your story with the world.
With over 25 years of experience in education as a Speech Language Pathologist, Denise Cesare is a mindfulness advocate, author, and a thought leader in social-emotional learning.
This book has been close to her heart since her son was born in December of 1999. She would often say the words, «I love you more than chocolate,» which inspired her dream to write this book. All these years later, those words have become the title, and that dream has become a reality! It is her hope that chocolate lovers and chocolatiers from around the world will embrace this book for the pure love it embodies!
Denise Cesare grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and raised her family in Staten Island, NY. She recently moved to Bluffton/ Hilton Head, South Carolina, with her husband, Dan. Her son, Daniel, lives in Pennsylvania, where he and Abby enjoy her surprise specialty chocolate treats.

What a Blessing
Blessing Platinum-Williams is a self-taught software developer and the founder of Tonely AI. Growing up, she was repeatedly told that she was “less than”, words that slowly became a self-fulfilling prophecy. After more than 80 hours of therapy and a long journey rebuilding self-belief, she came to understand just how deeply language can shape a person’s life.
That realisation became a turning point. Blessing is now on a mission to ensure that careless or harmful words do not cause the same level of damage to others as they once did to her.
She created Tonely AI to support that mission, building the tone-detection model herself over an 11-month period by generating the data needed to recognise patterns such as control, emotional manipulation and harmful intent. However, what sets Tonely apart is not only what it detects, but how it is designed.
Tonely runs fully on-device. It does not read conversations, store messages or send user data anywhere. Blessing was intentional about creating a tool that encourages reflection without surveillance, and that does not profit from people’s private thoughts. With Tonely, users’ words remain their own.
The goal is simple: to help people pause and reflect on the words they are about to send, without feeling monitored or judged.
Blessing also holds a law degree, a background that further reinforced her belief that language carries weight. In every context, personal, professional or legal, her guiding principle remains the same: every single word matters.

Amy's Rebirth
Amy Thurman is a best-selling author, international speaker, and a thought leader on the transformative power of authenticity and holding space. After living 10 years with a broken neck that went undiagnosed for six months, she was forced to redefine everything, including what it means to be strong. She discovered that true strength isn't found in pretending to be okay, it's found in presence, softness and the courage to be real.
