At RWA in Orlando, I did a series of interviews, and I’m so excited to share them. In this episode, I talk with Zoe Archer aka Eva Leigh and Nico Rosso about mindfulness. They did a workshop at RWA about mindfulness and writing, and I wanted to ask about the connections between them. We start with a gift of a scarf I found that looks like it’s patterned with a feminine napkin - with wings. It’s ghastly, and because we’ve traded pictures of unintentional yoni on clothing and purses, it had to belong to her. Then we talk about their mindfulness workshop. They explain the way they employ mindfulness, what it means for them, how to define and explain it, and how it relates to their jobs as writers. We also talk about managing anxiety and depression, so please be aware that we do talk about managing symptoms of mental illness and the reaction to triggers, but not the triggers themselves specifically. We also talk about self-compassion and developing the habit of being kind to yourself, writing habits, and the way one's writing process can change. Get bonus content on Patreon
