 The Power of Creative Writing (40 mins 17 seconds, Wellbeing Champions Podcast with www.lunebase.com

Aaron Kara and Dr Tom Jamieson, GP and both Co Founders of www.lunebase.com, the 'all-in-one workplace wellbeing platform," put me through my paces (in the loveliest way!)  about my work with Storied Selves, including my ethos, audiences and my creative process designing and delivering workshops with the public, healthcare staff and students and organisations. I discuss freewriting and how to go about it, then create possible poems and prose from it, and I suggest some simple ,fun ways to  get started with creative writing with no prior experience, and we also discuss the role of reflective writing and how creative writing can form part of our reflective practice in healthcare and healthcare education, that can be applied to whatever field you are in.
