E62: Write Where You Are

We all know how important it is for caregivers to focus on themselves. In this episode, Mar and Jenn discuss the powerful impact writing can have in the life of a caregiver. From journaling in a notebook to poetry and novels, caregivers everywhere are discovering the healing power of writing. Learn about writing prompts, which we will share in upcoming episodes and on social media. Want to dig deeper? Read Ann Lamott's Bird by Bird. Your hosts are authors, too.
