One of the best outcomes of this podcast is the chance to connect with others who share my love of reading and writing and understand the powerful role they play in wellness, healing, creativity and living a life well-lived.

Today’s guest is one of those people.

Sharon Frances is an author, illustrator and mental health advocate who embraces, embodies and celebrates the power of writing and creativity to promote healing of all kinds.

Come listen as we talk about her personal journey of healing through writing poetry, the essential role of creativity in our lives and how her simple recommendations for living a creative life instantly melted all of my excuses away and I shared a hidden creative passion. We laughed, we cried, we connected and now, we invite you to join us.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/04/08/the-healing-powers-of-writing-creativity-with-sharon-frances/
