    'Follow the Energy' - Vanessa Walters

    Delia talks to author, mentor, and writer, Vanessa Walters. Vanessa chose the phrase, “Follow the energy”, because it represents a point in her life where she felt like she could disappear. She was a new mom, working in a new country and she felt she was disconnected to her writing. She was teaching Zumba, feeling her writing was just, ‘good’. In the end, Vanessa realized that she needed to make mistakes, in order to find herself again. CREDITS This episode of Metaphorically Speaking was written by Joelle Joyner-Wong. Script Supervisor, Delia Dolor. Production assistance and social media graphics by Oduwa Osemwenke. The final program was edited by Mark Cheffins and social media videos by Ernie de Neve. Podcast Supervisor, Jeremy Goldsworthy.
