Introduction

Are you called to write about a past trauma? 

Odelia Elgarat first learned she was adopted at age 12 and spent the next several decades struggling to come to terms with this fact.

In today's episode she shares how, even after tracking down her biological mother in her 30s, it was writing a memoir about this experience, You are Allowed, which finally allowed her to heal from it, as well as how she navigated this deeply emotional process and what she learned about writing along the way.
