In this episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie sits down with Marie Crews, the creator of The Nautilus Way, a journaling practice designed to help you “write your way free.” What began as a love of words and inspiration from The Artist’s Way grew into a daily practice that became Marie’s anchor through some of life’s deepest storms. She shares how journaling gave her clarity, connection, and courage during profound loss—and how it can do the same for anyone, no matter their writing ability.

But Marie’s story goes beyond the page. From building a creative business, to hosting women’s retreats, she shows how creativity, community, and purpose can transform grief into growth. This conversation is filled with honesty, resilience, and inspiration—reminding us that healing often begins with the simplest of acts: picking up a pen and letting the words lead us home.
