About this listen

A guide for the next generation of writers - self-care rituals, creativity-generating rhythms, and personalized strategies for embracing your craft no matter what life throws at you.

Part memoir and part spirit guide, Wild Words is a book about the intersection of our creative soul with everything else, and how to make peace, make priorities, and ultimately, make progress by slowing down and embracing whatever season we’re in, right now. This isn’t a how-to guide filled with systems and formulas that promise a first draft in 90 days. Instead, Wild Words is an invitation to explore the emotional aspects of living a creative life, and the myriad ways to establish routines and rhythms that support a sustainable writing practice.

Wild Words shares lessons the author has learned the hard way, like how powerful it can be to embrace your creative history (and how to access your own), why self-care is an essential aspect of any writer’s path (with suggestions for how to make these practices accessible), and small but essential mindset shifts, like how to see your career as a partner (rather than an obstacle) in your writing life. Above all, Wild Words offers a new way to approach our creative life. It helps untangle the messy process of embracing our circumstances, trusting our own voice, and making time to put pen to paper, year after year.

Wise words

You don’t have to be a writer to listen to this book. This book is filled with so many wise words. I know I will find myself listening again when I need that little boost of confidence to get through to the next season. 🥰🥰

Personable advice for writers (or artists)

I am drawn to books about writing even though I’m an artist first. It’s comforting and engaging to hear about the creative process and the scope of the challenges some of us are compelled to embrace in creative work. This was one of the richest and gentlest I’ve encountered. The humility and empathy the author applies to her own experiences and also recognises as shared struggles are far more valuable than the usual forthright advice. It’s like a great chat and pep talk with a supportive, generous and insightful friend.
