From exposing political misconduct to crafting stories that dismantle patriarchy, NG Avant shares how the Capital City series gave her voice back after trauma. She explains how she aligns her writing and life with moon cycles, uses oracle cards for self-reflection, and shifted from burnout to inner balance as a single mom and full-time author.\nThis episode is a must-listen for women, writers, cycle-syncing creators, and anyone ready to turn pain into purpose and reclaim their power with ritual and words.\nAbout the Guest \u2013 NG Avant:NG Avant is a former political staffer turned indie author and intuitive guide. She writes fiction that blends personal truth with political commentary and spiritual tools. As a single mother of three and creator of a moon journal, she channels lunar wisdom and storytelling to help others heal, rebel, and rise.\nKey Takeaways:\n\n\nNG Avant transitioned from a career in politics\u2014where she experienced sexism and trauma\u2014into writing empowering fiction through her Capital City series.\n\n\nWriting became a form of reclamation. She created a character who responded to injustice the way she wished she could have, giving her catharsis and agency.\n\n\nHer process includes aligning her writing goals with moon cycles\u2014manifesting on new moons and reflecting on full moons.\n\n\nShe uses oracle and tarot cards not to predict the future, but to unlock deep self-awareness and subconscious truths.\n\n\nHer rituals ground her as a mother and author, allowing her to honor her rhythms and avoid burnout.\n\n\nWriting for NG is not just creative\u2014it\u2019s spiritual, political, and personal healing.\n\n\nFiction allows her to explore and challenge internalized misogyny, validate women\u2019s lived experiences, and create space for intersectional feminism.\n\n\nShe encourages all women to begin with radical self-reflection: \u201cHow am I feeling right now, and why?\u201d\u2014letting that be the first line of their healing narrative.\n\n\n\u00a0\nConnect with NG Avant:Website and Moon Journal: https://ngavant.caFollow her journey on Instagram: ngavantauthorBooks: Capital City Series available on major platforms\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
