Can something imagined be just as healing as something real?
In this heartfelt episode, we explore the emotional power of storytelling, memory, and imagination. Our guest shares how writing a fictional encounter with her younger self—and creating moments that never actually happened—led to profound healing. Whether it was the comfort of a fictional dog named Cecil or a time-travel-like bedroom conversation with her inner child, the emotional impact was deeply real.
We also explore how writing opened new insights into her family dynamics, especially her siblings. By imagining them as children alongside their adult selves, she gained a new appreciation for their shared past—and the unspoken differences in how they experienced it.
This episode is a testament to how memory, imagination, and story can offer healing, clarity, and connection—even when the scenes are fiction, the transformation is not.
