Episode 22 - Interrupting the Pattern

from We Weren't Told · host Angel Beswick-Reid

I missed an episode last week because I was deep in the administration of my father's estate — and then I went to Wisconsin, to the writing workshop I'd impulsively booked, and let a wave of grief knock me over on an island with no memories of him waiting for me. In this episode we're: Naming why I missed last week, and choosing grace over discipline when I needed it Revisiting the impulse trip to Madeline Island and what it meant to make it there with my mother Sitting with the sobbing, snot-crying wave of grief that finally had room to move in a place with no associations Unpacking my writing coach's idea that sometimes you don't fix a pattern, you interrupt it Naming what it felt like to get nourishment — creativity, silence, community, grief — all in one unplanned yes. What pattern are you living inside of right now? And what would it mean to interrupt it — not dramatically, just genuinely? Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time.
