If you are drawn to creative writing as a way to process the events of your life, this episode is for you. Today's guest is the founder of an incredible community called Narrative Healing, a writing program that seeks to release our stories in a way that's both accessible and empowering. 

After beginning her career in book publishing, Lisa Weinert eventually became a certified yoga instructor with a specialty in trauma-informed restorative yoga—which ultimately led her to combine her professional training with her own trauma experience to create this unique work. Her first book, Narrative Healing: Awaken the Power of Your Story will be released on July 18th, but you're about to get a special preview of the wisdom it has to offer.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How stories—particularly trauma—can get stuck in your body, and how writing can be a path to emotional release and healing.
• How storytelling allows us to find joy and connection with our communities.
• Tips and exercises for getting past writer's block (for instance, how music and physical location can jog your memory).
• How to choose the right agent and publisher—what questions to ask and what to look for.
• What to expect from your publishing team after you get a book deal.
