Show Notes

To be a writer is one of the most rewarding occupations imaginable but the writer’s journey is tough – we need emotional resilience, courage, determination, and patience. 

This podcast is to help writers on that journey – the inner journey, as we experience the highs and lows of a writer’s life together.

 Each week I chat with a guest exploring the psychological, emotional, and spiritual journey they have experienced as a writer, the lessons they have learnt – and are continuing to learn. 

 As I talk to other writer’s and reflect on my own experience, I hope to discover how we might find abundance in our creative pursuits, achieving our goals the mindful way.

 In this week’s episode, I chat to play writer, Jack Canfora.


Jack Canfora is a playwriter and podcaster. He blogs www.thewritingonthepaddedwall.com, has an online theater company  www.newnormalrep.org with a podcast "New Normal Rep's Play Date" on most platforms.

In this episode we explore:

What we can and can’t control as writers and when to let go

Coping with envy and disappointment

 How we can learn from our suffering, turning it into something positive.
