Writing a Book Takes Courage and Commitment

In this podcast episode, the speaker talks with Larry Tusho, a new author who shares his journey of writing a book after a long career in social work. Larry explains that he had been journaling for years and took a personality test that suggested he could be an author, which resonated with him. After retiring early due to his own mental and emotional struggles, Larry decided to write a book about his family's journey with mental illness. He sought guidance and support from a writing coach and embraced a non-traditional approach that involved drawing pictures and tapping into his heart. The writing process was a rollercoaster of emotions, but it allowed Larry to grieve, heal, and transform himself.
