On the next episode, hosts Ami and Robin welcome the multifaceted Chris Amos; a poet, writer, counselor, and father, who has navigated the realms of poetry and children's literature. With a background steeped in emotional expression through the written word, Chris shares his experiences that have shaped both his literary voice and his counseling approach. He discusses the profound impact of his personal life, including his transition from poetry to children's literature, exemplified by his self-published book, "Cause I'm a Baby," which draws inspiration from his parenting experiences. Additionally, Chris delves into the therapeutic nature of writing, illustrating how his craft serves as a conduit for processing emotions and fostering connections with others.
