"I Didn't Know I Felt That Way Until I Wrote It Down" Elyse Myers on Healing Through Storytelling

Elyse Myers is a writer, musician, viral sensationmother, and the person who turned her most anxious, "too much" bits into art. She shares about the beautiful mess of creativity, neurodivergence, and the quiet revolution of simply being herself. In this episode, Elyse shares:

• The moment she realized she was living someone else's life + quit.

• Walking away from the career, the platform, and the version of "success" that didn't fit.

• Why telling the story you need is an act of rebellion.

• How she protects her nervous system +stays open without staying exposed.

• When creativity becomes your whole identity + how she took it back.

• Life with anxiety, autism, and "big feelings" + why she stopped fighting them.

• How That's A Great Question was built off one line + why every chapter is unapologetically unedited.

• The New York hotel notebook: when nothing made sense…until it suddenly did.

• Why she stopped trying to "fix" herself + chose to feel, messy and real.

• Curiosity over certainty. Questions over answers. Belonging over perfection.
