I aim to write stories that show what is possible when one commits to finding their own version of magic.
What if the darkest moments of your life could be the stepping stones to your greatest achievements? In this episode of The Now What Society, hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with award-winning author Tricia Copeland to uncover her incredible story of transformation. At just nineteen, Tricia faced a severe eating disorder that nearly took her life. But instead of succumbing to her struggles, she fought back, determined to find her own brand of magic in the world.
Tricia shares how she rebuilt her life, putting herself through both undergrad and graduate school, and eventually pursuing her passion for creative writing. Her journey didn't stop there; she also started two businesses while raising her children. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the magic that can be found in everyday life. In their conversation, Tricia and the hosts explore the dangers of seeking external validation and how it can lead to self-destructive behaviors.
They discuss the healing power of vulnerability in creativity and how writing has been a therapeutic tool for Tricia, helping her process and heal from past traumas. They also dive into the fantasy genre, where Tricia finds endless possibilities and worlds to explore. Her writing not only serves as an escape but also as a way to show others what is possible when they commit to finding their own version of magic.
This episode is a blend of inspiration and practical advice, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their own lives and discover the magic within. As Tricia beautifully puts it, 'We all create our own brand of magic. Whether transforming hearts, lives, numbers, ideas, art, music or simply enjoying nature, we discover magic every day.' Tune in to hear more about Tricia's journey and start creating the life you were meant to live.
