Céline Santini - Write To Be Nourished

In this episode of the We Women Writers Podcast, host Jane Jones speaks with author Céline Santini about her writing journey, the significance of Kintsugi in personal growth, and the importance of daily writing. Céline shares her writing experience as a young child, which was eclipsed by her passion for reading for many years, her life challenges, and how her search for healing led her to embrace the Japanese concept and practice of Kintsugi, and she found that embracing imperfection can lead to empowerment. The conversation emphasizes the value of following one's intuitive impulses as key in the creative process and the nourishing aspect of writing, whether for oneself or others.Quote: “Again, when you feel, that would be another message that I would give the world. Whenever you feel an urge, however silly it sounds, do it, you may understand later why.” Takeaways: Following your intuitive impulse is essential in the creative process.Every grief can be turned into gold through writing.The creative process is often non-linear and unpredictable.Resources:Céline Santini’s Website: https://kintsugi-spirit.com/celine-santini/ Céline Santini’s TED Talk – with English sub-titles: https://www.ted.com/talks/celine_santini_de_lignes_de_faille_en_lignes_de_force/transcript Amazon - Kintsugi Finding Strength in Imperfection: https://www.amazon.com/Kintsugi-Strength-Imperfection-C%C3%A9line-SANTINI/dp/1449497306 Elizabeth Gilbert TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_your_elusive_creative_genius?language=enSend us Fan Mail
