Ronit Plank on "When She Comes Back" The Body Talks

- Marketing
In this episode I bring you an interview with Ronit Plank, an American author, podcaster, teacher and storyteller.
She’s written a memoir When She Comes Back about her childhood years where, in 1978 , her mother leaves her and her younger sister (Nava) to live with their father so she could go and follow guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh to his now infamous ashram in Pune, India. (This was the guru at the center of the documentary Wild, Wild Country on Netflix).
This book is so relevant in our current climate navigating our bodies through all these “market forces”you could say that signal “not enoughness”, “perfectionism”, narcissism, sexism and so many other isms that make up what I call The Commodified Body.
The fact the book is about a path to healing from these childhood experiences gave me a feeling of hope, of warmth and of regeneration.
It showed me that through the act of writing, compassion, empathy and perspective can be found for both the creator, Ronit and her readers can learn and heal. Enjoy.
