Bethany Hegedus is back with episode 8 in her Courage to Create series. This is Bethany's most personal and forthright talk yet where she discusses how to create from personal pain and your unhealed places and how she herself has done this numerous times in her career. Delving deeply into the messiness of life, Bethany monologues on the struggle of good vs. great writing, allowing ourselves to have breakdowns, and examining what we are looking to heal from in our own life and how that shows up in our work. She talks about writers who have influenced her, namely Laurie Halse Anderson and the power of her new, revealing memoir SHOUT, which Bethany also reads aloud from. Tune in today and be inspired as Bethany bravely shares her personal pain to help listeners tap into, use, and heal from their own. Do not miss this lovely and moving episode!
