What if writing isn’t just something you do but a way to come home to yourself?
I’m joined again by my dear friend Johanna Hattendorf — a poet, somatic healer, and trauma educator.
In this episode, Johanna shares about writing as a sacred practice: as a way to move through trauma, reclaim your voice, and witness your truth on the page. We talk about writing without pressure - and what happens when we let words pour through us unedited, unfiltered, and alive.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
How writing can be a bridge between your body and your spirit
The power of group writing as a collective healing space
Why devotion (not perfection) is what carries us forward
The magic of free writing (and letting the “bad writing” come too)
How poetry opens us to beauty, truth, and deeper self-witnessing
