Join me in this live, two-hour class and discover the Five Things I’ve Learned about the ways in which our intimate responses to change can positively drive our most powerful urges to write and create.

Writers, creatives, deep feelers, and thinkers face a challenging future as we enter 2025. The world order is shifting, and – particularly with the new year – many of us understand that it’s time to take stock of things, evaluate our priorities and desires, and sort out where we want to focus our creative energies.

I’ve come to recognize these periods of shift and change, and the consideration they require of us, as “threshold moments.”  Whether centered in our personal or professional lives, these moments are pivotally important, things like death or divorce, the loss of home or country, the birth or new love, a job transition, etc. As a writer/author, coach, and publisher for the past twenty-five years, I’ve also learned time after time that our most powerful urges to write and create stem from our response to these challenges.

If you’re wrestling with such a moment now, or if you’re eager to discover more about the ways that navigating such moments can shape and propel your creative life, I hope you’ll join me at my upcoming live class, Five Things I’ve Learned about How Threshold Moments Shape Our Stories. 

As I’ll explain when you join me, I’m eager to explore these kinds of moments because I have been living within the swirl of a threshold moment that’s lasted for most of 2024. For me, the past year has felt chaotic. I’ve been thrashing around, trying to will something I can’t control into being. And yet, I’ve discovered through this experience something about my own fortitude, about the power of patience, and more generally about how these kinds of moments define and shape us—because they’re directing us toward the next big step, or even setting the course for the next stage of our lives.

And so, in this session, we’ll explore together the impact of key threshold moments from our pasts. We’ll also consider similar moments we might be facing now. We’ll begin at the beginning, where you’ll have the opportunity to consider your own story through the lens of your most important moments (which can last weeks, months, or years). You will have the chance to put language around why these experiences matter, and to deepen into the meaning of it all.

It’s these lived experiences that make us who we are. For each of us, this is the raw material of our life stories. For writers, these are the experiences that beckon us to the page. Listen to that call. 

I invite you to this session to explore, to write, and to share.
