In this episode Amy is joined by past Incubator member, Finn Schubert, all about following narrative threads in our life and business. They talk about:Finding and following narrative threads - even when the narrative is wildly nonlinearKnowing when to walk away and begin a new pathBeing willing to listen to our intuitive guides, even when they don’t tell us what we want to hearHis writing practice and how he decides what stories are for sharing and what stories are for him aloneBreathwork as a tool for letting goand much more!Finn Schubert (he/him) is the author of Even the Cemeteries Have Space Here, an essay collection exploring his move from NYC to a small town to grieve his infertility. (In a weird twist, he got pregnant as soon as the book came out.)  He is a Moth StorySlam-winning storyteller, and his writing has appeared in TheBody, Lit Star Review, and the anthologies Transcending: Trans Buddhist Voices and Places Like Home. He writes a weekly essays newsletter, titled "The Menstruant," exploring the question: What does it mean to be a gay man who loves having a uterus? (Right now: Pregnancy edition.) Finn’s background is in public health and he most recently worked as the director of HIV services for a large community health center network in Brooklyn prior to transitioning to freelance consulting last year. He offers speaking and workshops regarding LGBTQ+ health, trans and nonbinary inclusion in workplaces and spiritual communities, and public health program design and evaluation. Finn currently lives in NYC and is at work on an essay collection.
