81. Navigating THE Change through Writing

Ep 81 Is all change painful? Not necessarily. If you have even been in search of a salve to ease the pain, then you are not alone.  In today's episode, you are getting a relatable and hilarious guide to navigating THE major CHANGE in your life and other transitions like a pro.  Join me in a real and raw conversation with my friend and colleague, Kathy Garland, professor and published author as we unpack the major barriers to writing and sharing our personal stories while protecting the people we care about the most. Whether you've got a book in you, these tips might apply to you in other areas of life.  Everyone is going through some kind of transition right now: back to school, back to work, and dropping kids off at college. It's a time of saying goodbye, of saying hello to new chapters - THAT WE WRITE, and of helping people transition to new jobs, ambitions, or phase in development.  K E Garland is an award-winning creative nonfiction writer and blogger based in Florida. She uses personal essays and memoir to de-marginalize women's experiences with an intent to highlight and humanize contemporary issues. Listen and Learn:  - The right way to empower someone who is dealing with any addiction (judgment free)  - The #1 thing to say/do to help you decide if what you are writing or sharing (even on social media) is vulnerable or TOO personal (TMI)?  - The 5 words that will help you commit to writing that book inside you.  - The surprising Natural relief of anxiety (not alcohol or marijuana)  - Why feeling scared and anxious before change is natural, normal, and healthy Feeling sad or uncertain about change?  Good; you're normal. __ Would you like to write for Navigating the Change?
