02. Healing and growing post-breakup through writing w/ Angel Norvell

A soul-crushing breakup led her to start writing about her healing process with the hope of helping others.

Angel Norvell, a U.S. soldier & author of Hey Girl, Fix Your Crown, is on the show today.

In this episode, she walks us through how writing gave her the tools to take ownership over the breakup and move forward. She also discussed what experiences served as a catalyst for turning her healing process into a self-help book.

She also shares tips for making time to write while working and parenting full time, and she introduces us to her work in progress regarding a young-adult fantasy series about Greek gods.
