In this episode, Joan takes us on a journey through the intersecting lives of Becca and Lena, two women connected by trauma, and resilience. We explore the challenges of writing across multiple timelines, the power of nature in shaping the narrative, and the importance of exploring themes like intergenerational trauma, identity, and healing.
