Grief has a way of stopping time. It reshapes our days, our thoughts, and how we show up in the world. But what if writing could help alleviate the pain?

In this episode, I interview science fiction author Jordan S. Keller about her new book, 'Falling Gravity,' which explores themes of grief, kindness, and forgiveness. Jordan shares her personal journey of navigating the loss of her father through writing, the challenges of finding time to write amidst grief, and the cathartic process of storytelling. 

The conversation emphasizes the therapeutic power of writing and the importance of embracing emotions during the creative process.

Grab a seat and get inspired!
