As part of the 2025 Midlife Madness Summit, Selena interviewed me about journaling, writing, midlife and more. I have included a short summary of what we discussed below the video.
The topics Selena and I discuss in the interview:
- How I started writing
- My thoughts on why writing is one of the most under-utilised tools we have on-hand on a 24/7 basis
- Writing as a well-being tool
- Why you only need 10 minutes to get started with writing - you can define what writing 'regularly' means to you
- Why it's important to leave all of the baggage you have attached to writing out the window when we're using writing as a well-being tool
- My only non-negotiable when it comes to writing
- How to find safety or a 'resource'
- What it means to be trauma-informed
- The importance of building a writing habit rather than writing only when you feel things are not going your way
- Anxiety
- Connecting with the physical body
- Writing as part of a lifestyle and to complement other modalities you may be engaging in
- Creative writing
