Category: The Stories Between Us Podcast

Years ago, Tara K. Ross found herself dealing with a serious case of post-partum anxiety, not wanting to leave the house at all. And with this new role of motherhood, she began to feel that she had lost her identity. Part of what helped her navigate that time was creativity and writing. We dig into the saving power of creativity and also talk about releasing a book during these difficult days, and what taking a step back has to teach us.

You can find out more about Tara and her new book at https://www.tarakross.com/

We have a lovely conversation with Tsh Oxenreider about the therapeutic benefits of creativity, the problem with writing to feel accomplished, and a better definition for self-care. We talk about what an annual writing schedule might look like, but also the difficulty in nailing down writing schedules in a busy household.

We dig into some interesting questions today, questions that came to us as we read Walter Wangerin’s book, Beate Not the Poore Desk. Questions like,

“Can you call a piece of writing “art” if it’s never enjoyed by anyone?”

“Can the novel explore and reveal things the writer never intended?”

“Is a routine necessary for writing?”

And we talk a bit about some things coming down the pike for our little podcast.

Maile digs up an old memory in which 19-year-old Shawn, during a moment of insensitivity, said something that still echoes in her mind today. They talk about the importance of receiving feedback (and being able to keep it from feeling personal). Also, those voices in your head telling you you’re not good enough? It’s time to identify them and then kick them out of your headspace.
