The Ambassador of JOY, Barry Shore, introduces You to the woman who teaches how to use writing to overcome any of Life’s difficulties. Maria began writing a journal to maintain her sanity and reclaim her sense of self during a troubled family life. Listen carefully as she articulates how she moved from the personal perspective to a more universal perspective. This is a very touching episode and will have You in touch with Your true empathetic self.
