A Really Good Cry

Becoming a Whole Person: Shadow Work, Stillness, and the Page with Allie Michelle


Listen Later

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions—but didn’t know how to process them?
Are you carrying feelings you haven’t found the words for yet?
Could journaling be more than just writing—could it actually be a form of healing?
What if your “ugly” feelings weren’t something to fix—but something to understand?

 

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Allie Michelle—poet, author, and now fantasy novelist—for a heart-opening conversation on emotional healing, self-expression, and the radical power of writing it all down.

 

Together, they explore how journaling can help us face our inner chaos with compassion, why the messiest emotions often hold the deepest wisdom, and how Allie’s own journey through anxiety, creativity, and self-discovery shaped her voice as a writer. From embracing your shadow to finding stillness in self-reflection, this episode is a gentle invitation to meet yourself on the page.

 

Whether you’re a writer, a feeler, or just someone looking to reconnect with your inner world—this conversation is a soft place to land.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How journaling can help you process emotions and release shame
  • Why embracing “emotional dissonance” can lead to deeper healing
  • What it really means to write authentically—and why it’s not always easy
  • The difference between self-expression and emotional avoidance
  • How to transform anxiety into connection and creativity
  • What Allie’s writing journey taught her about purpose, presence, and being human

 

If you’ve ever felt like your feelings were too much, too messy, or too hard to name—this episode is your reminder: your emotions are not a burden. They’re a doorway to deeper understanding, healing, and wholeness.
