Writing Life Together began by another name in 2018-2019 with just 30 episodes (it was then Writing Feminist Life Together). I am still a feminist, but the new title for season 2 (now 7 years later) also reflects letting my neurodivergent brain take more pathways. This podcast is about how we write the narratives of our own lives, instead of the dominant narratives being written on us by systems never intended for our flourishing. How do we live close to our creativity to do the work of writing our own lives? Sometimes I have people I love and admire on the show to think through this question. Sometimes I just talk about what I am reading or thinking and feeling through. By training, I am a scholar who works on intersections of gender, race, religion, contemplation, and how we are formed at in-depth psychological levels. I also teach writing and write about writing as sanctuary. I think about multiplicity and how labels sometimes save us and sometimes cause a kind of tragic self-abandonment from how dynamic and emerging each of us truly are.  I want a world less violent, less racist, less sexist, less classist, less ableist, less cruel. I want a world where everyone claims the right and has the resources to honor their creativity—to write their own soul's print in this lifetime. But I also believe creative life is never a solo act. We do this together.
