Amelia Zachry

Amelia Zachry, author of Enough: A Memoir of Mistakes, Mania, and Motherhood, didn't think anyone would want to read about her trauma. But being vulnerable about her experiences "invited people to be vulnerable" in return. 

"And so that is the power of the word from page to the reader," Amelia says, "that we can transform that sense of healing to others through our words." 

On this episode, Amelia discusses several writing prompts that will help you tap into your emotions and "share your truth."
