With all my heart,Ellen Your Guest: B.J. Wilde“Writing has always been home to me. Something happens when I tap those keys and turn thoughts and mental imagery into words and worlds to interact with. It gives me a satisfaction and fulfilment that I’ve not been able to experience elsewhere. I’ve held a secret dream under lock and key in my heart since I was a little girl that I’d be an author “someday”. It has taken me until my 30s to understand that we create our “someday”, and my someday is today.I’m B.J. Wilde and I’m a writer, mother of three little girls, wife to the man of my dreams, friend, business owner, sister, daughter, ocean lover, wellness prioritiser, and a whole bunch of other roles. I live right on the beach on the Gold Coast of Australia, with my three girls, husband and our dog Frankie.I spend my time being a hermit, swimming in the ocean, popping down to the local cafe for a morning coffee, at the gym to nourish my mind and body, playing in the pool with my family, or as you can probably imagine, sitting at my laptop turning imaginings into stories you can read.Writing has been the one common dream I’ve carried with me through my life, and there are two types of writing that do something to my life force, head and heart; romantic fantasy where the world building helps you escape to a completely different reality, and deep, rich and immersive memoir-style perspectives and reflections that help you think and feel more perceptively.”CONNECT WITH BRITPURCHASE & READ : The Sky Called Her HomeSUBSTACK : Made For ThisINSTAGRAM : @bjwildewrites WEBSITE & OFFERINGS: https://www.bjwildewrites.com/Your Host: Ellen TravassarosRetreat & Ceremonial Breathwork Facilitator, and Trusted Mentor for Women.Ellen has been leading and facilitating within the healing and personal development arts for over a decade.During this time she has been both self and formally initiated into the modalities of integrative somatic trauma therapy, integration, and SPIRITUS Breathwork.Ellen is a humanitarian at heart, and her life’s work is devoted to connection, telling stories, and supporting women to heal and integrate their pain, suffering, and trauma as a way to reorient themselves into embodiment.“I believe that apathy is one of the greatest threats to humanity.
