This week we are sharing a favorite episode from the archives as we take a little fall break from our regular podcast schedule. Production assistant Monica Haro selected this episode from September 2021 to reshare. Enjoy!
When Katie Murray was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was surprised to discover that old traumas she thought she had dealt with were reawakened within her. She turned to writing to ground herself - quite literally on the gurney going into and emerging from surgery - and make sense of all she'd been through, prior to cancer, and then during her cancer treatment. Katie reads a story “Naked Narrative” from the 2021 “Body” issue of Wildfire Magazine. Trigger warning: this episode includes a mention of miscarriage.
