It's becoming widely known that expressing your feelings through the written word can help you to heal and grow. But it's not just for when times are hard. Documenting the good as well as the bad is a great way to truly understand yourself from moment to moment; to capture your emotions like a photograph, so they don't get repressed or forgotten.
Introducing my friend of over 10 years, John Iredale. And I recorded this show remotely, as he lives in all the way in Brazil!
John has an incredible way with words. And although he has never kept a journal, he’s been writing deeply and powerfully about the landmark moments in his life since he was 14 years old.
Now 48, he says that much of his writing has love as its theme and can be categorized as a yearning for love from others and a need to earn love from himself.
We talk about the crippling effects of body dysmorphic disorder and how we might always look for the beauty in the world – no matter how imperfect it may be – and John takes us on a mini journey through his life of love so far, with poetry as his vehicle.
Along the way, we discuss the power of self-belief, the things that can be achieved if you have the courage to go your own way, and the one book that everybody should write – even if they don’t see themselves as a “writer.”
A relationship coach as well as a wordsmith, John also tells us about the addictive qualities of love, what you should always consider before you bring somebody into your life, and what you should never do when you find somebody you’re attracted to.
Finally, he leaves us with some light-hearted lines of poetry that we can send our Valentine this February 14th – though he does advise us to use them at our peril – and a wonderful piece of writing that emphasizes the themes of love that run through this podcast, and will resonate with all you creatives out there.
