Ep 75: How to use writing to tap into creativity you didn’t even know you had with Allison Fallon

In this episode I'm talking with bestselling author Allison Fallon @allyfallon about how writing can transform your life + boost your creativity no matter what your creative niche is. To be human is to write. We never look at a baby and say, “I wonder if she’ll be a talker.” we just assume she will, because talking is such a part of human experience, and yet we’ve somehow decided that writing is an elite activity reserved for a special few. Ally has been featured in forbes + the huffington post In this episode we talk about: -how to deal with the voice that protests that writing is a “waste of time”, especially when your writing sucks BAD -the science behind writing’s hidden benefits, including healing trauma, improving relationships, even losing weight -how to get a taste of what a writing practice can do for you in just 5 minutes a day -the biggest mistakes people make when writing for an audience (cough, instagram captions) Mentions: Ally’s free prompts, courses, and workshops: https://findyourvoice.com/ Julia Cameron the artist’s way: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143129252/?ref=exp_brookebschultz_dp_vv_d
