Episode 38 - Writing Through It: How Journaling and Poetry Heal with Lacey Heels
In this inspiring episode, I fangirl over the one and only Lacey Heels, author, poet and wonderful human, to talk about her brand-new book, The Rebirth Rituals. Lacey shares how writing and poetry became powerful tools in her own journey of processing emotions, navigating family dynamics, people-pleasing and creating space for growth and healing.
Together, we explore the ways writing can help us give voice to our inner experiences, make sense of difficult moments, and allow us to distance ourselves from our emotions so we can understand them better. From sharing her process of writing and choosing passages for her book, getting comfortable with vulnerability of sharing her words, and tips and tricks to start writing, Lacey offers insights into how creative expression can be both grounding and liberating.
Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just curious about putting pen to paper, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired to embrace the healing power of writing and maybe even start your own writing routine!
