    The Healing Power of Writing with Marisa Goudy

    The Healing Power of Writing with Marisa Goudy

    This is a replay of my conversation with Marisa Goudy from January of 2019.

    We often tell ourselves that our stories aren’t important, that what we have to say isn’t enough or that we don’t have the tools or the words. We forget that we live in a world surrounded by language and that words are our birthright. In this episode Biz and Marisa Goudy, a writing coach and story healer in New York’s Hudson Valley, talk about the importance and the benefits of telling our stories and how writing can be a powerful tool for self knowledge and healing.
