from Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries · host Kylie Patchett
YA adventure/fantasy author Mariska Anderson shares her story of the quest to find her "worthiness switch". During this episode Mariska and I chat about:- What she describes as her big leap, which led to a deep hole which she is now very proud to have climbed out of, and the breadcrumbs of this road which have ultimately led to her delivering her writing gifts to the world.- Her dislike of labels (bios included) and how these feel like unattainable, unreachable (not to mention boring!) boxes which limit her self-expression- Seeking worth outside of herself, and the feeling of “fumbling around in the dark trying to find the worthiness switch”, despite living an outwardly successful academic career and achieving a PhD in sustainable agriculture. - The next step after academic career, which including qualifications in many coaching modalities and another dark moment of the soul in terms of physical and financial burnout- The unfurling of Mariska’s pattern of waiting for someone else to bestow her worth or their approval, her subsequent allergy to institutions and the freedom this has opened up for her as an author- And the guiding light of Mariska speaking about how alive and real her characters are to her, anyhow this is the culmination of all the precious things that brought her deep contentment and joy from her childhood.This is such a heart-warming, illuminating conversation.
