Pushing past the "shoulds" in curiosity, intentionality, and with a curious, playful spirit, is not only an artist's way but THE way to fully upgrade on your own hero's journey to create through hard memories and give yourself permission to explore and soar. I LOVED this episode! As a memoir writer, international bestselling author, former writing doula, and one who teaches somatic meditative journaling, owning our unique, Divine gifts to thrive elevates our existence and our influence upon others in such great love. As a former college English instructor and one who has coached writers to publication, I wholeheartedly appreciate not limiting ourselves in our creativity and found the 5-step pre-writing process described by Jaime Summer Handley practical and inspiring to help budding writers meet their story proactively and with great courage. The deeper well is indeed the one to draw from. Thank you for this incredible conversation! I look forward to hearing more episodes! Inspiring.Practical. Authentic.
