In this deeply moving episode, our guest shares how writing a time-bending, emotionally resonant story allowed her to reconnect with her younger self, revisit childhood memories, and even gain a deeper understanding of her siblings. Though the events in the book didn’t technically happen, the emotional impact was very real—from heartfelt conversations with her inner child to a fictional dog named Cecil who brought surprising comfort.
We explore how imagination, memory, and storytelling can offer a second chance to process pain, rediscover joy, and rewrite emotional truths. Through the act of writing, she found not only personal healing, but a new lens through which to view her family and childhood with clarity, grace, and compassion.
If you’ve ever wondered whether stories can transform us—the answer is yes.
