[Katy Bowman, practical matters]: Finding the kind of writing that feels like a downhill flow instead of an uphill slog + making writing less sedentary Ep 1131
This week my guest is biomechanist Katy Bowman, author of eleven–count ‘em, eleven–books that explore how to improve health and boost well-being through movement, including the best-selling “Move Your DNA,” as well as her newest, “My Perfect Movement Plan.” Her back catalog includes “Rethink Your Position,” “Movement Matters,” “Dynamic Aging,” “Grow Wild,” “Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief,” “Diastasis Recti,” “Don't Just Sit There,” “Whole Body Barefoot,” and “Alignment Matters.” In fact, Katy has published so many books that she founded her own independent press, Uphill Books.
She has also been named one of Maria Shriver's Architects of Change for her work to change the way we move and understand our need for movement, and is the founder of the movement education company Nutritious Movement, based in Washington state, where she lives.
We covered:
- How writing a book is really an exercise in processing everything she’s learned for herself (in addition to being a way to communicate information)
- Finding the kind of writing that feels like a downhill flow instead of an uphill slog
- Matching your output to your phase of life
- How to find the quiet you need to write in a noisy world
- Balancing the necessity and allure of technology with a hunger for real-world, in person, nourishing experiences (what she calls “nutrient-dense” experiences)
- How she works movement into her writing process
- How walking boosts creativity
- How she makes the most of her mornings (and why she doesn’t have coffee until she’s done this one thing each morning)
