13. HEALING YOUR TRAUMA THROUGH CREATIVITY & POETRY w/ Marie

This is EP 13 of YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP! I'm reunited with
my friend Marie and we catch up on where shes at in her life at
the moment. Things have changed a lot since we used to live
together in London!


Marie chats through her pregnancy and how shes finding it. She
also gives her thoughts on pregnancy myths and whether they may
be true...


We then discuss the hard year of her life she went through when
she was in a toxic relationship. She found comfort and healing in
poetry around this time and even wrote her own poetry book. The
podcast then turns into sort of poetry reading as we read out
some poems from her book and others. 


She breaks down the meanings of several poems she wrote, most
based around the idea that love is not meant to be hard and if it
is then it is not love.  'There is no such thing as love
lost'. 


This episode focuses a lot on the use of creativity to help you
through traumatic times, and we hope that anyone listening can
feel inspired in some way from it, much love guys x
