The Resilience Within S3E3 w/ Nathan Brown - Writing as a form of Self-Care

Season 3 is about self-care, because self-care is community care. Our guest this week, Nathan Brown, shares how his writing practice has been a powerful act of self-care, including his practice of writing one poem a day for the last 30 years. He shares his journey through big changes, including the pandemic shutdown which caused him to pivot and to create “fireside sessions,” a livestream weekly performance on Facebook that is still happening. He says that currently silence is one of the most healing resources in his life.

Nathan Brown is an author, songwriter, and award-winning poet who holds a PhD in English and Journalism from the University of Oklahoma where he’s taught for over 20 years.
