Episode 8: Reclaiming Creativity After Misdiagnosis

Tamsyn Bester on Social Media Boundaries, Rediscovering Creativity, and Thriving Beyond Mental Health Labels

On episode #8, I’m speaking with Tamsyn Bester, an editor and romance writer from South Africa. I’m really excited to bring this episode to everyone as Tamsyn is such a warm personality and speaks with so openly about her challenges with mental health. In this episode, we touch on a lot of topics, but really want to highlight Tamsyn’s view on setting boundaries around social media as a creative experiencing anxiety and her incredible journey to reclaim her creativity after being misdiagnosed.

Tamsyn is an award-winning romance author and fiction editor based in Pretoria, South Africa. She has been an indie romance author since 2013, and decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Publishing in 2016. When she’s not writing or editing, she can be found reading one of her favorite books for the millionth time, or spending time with family and friends.
