Quotes and statements within the interview:
"The greatest power of the writing process is exactly that when you write down your story, even if you never share it with someone, just the act of seeing it on the page helps you have that perspective that you're talking about where you're seeing your life from the outside of it which most of us never take the time to do."
"Just out of the sheer passion of it, I had written nine pages front and back with like these very vivid details."
"It was the first time in my life that I ever remember feeling very good at anything."
"But the writing process helped me unlock what was going on and helped me deal with the emotional problems that were, in the end, causing these physical symptoms.""But there may be more layers to the story than we realize, and if you're willing to tap into that emotional connection through a tool like writing; sometimes you can find a way to actually heal your physical body so that now I can eat whatever I want."
"The power of writing is when you can tap into the subconscious mind, you can find the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that are actually driving your daily behaviors."
"While I was in that process I decided that this tool that this tool, that I had been using to teach other people to tell their personal stories, perhaps I could use it to tell my own personal story."
"The question is, 'What am I going to do next?'""The best thing we can do is actually through a practice like writing, give it permission to speak to us."
"Well, I say in the book that writer's block is not really writer's block, it's life block."
What has your story gifted you?
