Memoir Writing for Chronic Illness

In this episode we explore the power of storytelling and the profound impact it can have on making sense of our lives. Our guests are a memoir expert and our very own co-host, Kimberly Warner. You don’t have to consider yourself a writer to gain something valuable from this conversation. We’ll delve into the stories that shape us, how we find meaning in them, and the transformative potential of sharing these stories with others.

Kimberly Warner is a film director, producer, author, and a medical school drop-out who traded prescriptions for cameras in pursuit of narrative medicine. She founded Unfixed Media in 2019 to share stories of people living with chronic or rare conditions and how adversity can broaden our definition of what it means to live a “good life.”
