Episode 7: An Editor's Journey Through Trauma and Writing

Exploring Self-Acceptance, Creative Growth, and Overcoming Life's Challenges with Cae Hawksmoor

On episode #7, I’m speaking with Cae Hawksmoor, a developmental editor and writer who specializes in speculative fiction. Cae’s calming presence and insightful reflections made this conversation truly special. We dig deep into the challenges of navigating creativity as a neurodivergent person, explore the importance of self-compassion, and discuss what healing looks like for trauma survivors. Cae is a wealth of knowledge (I thank them so much for sharing), and I know you’ll take away so much from this conversation.

Enjoy the episode!
