SWRT 136 | Refilling the Creative Well with Alina Sayre, part 2
December 12, 2019

Author Alina Sayre joins us at the Story Works Round Table to talk about refilling the creative well. Sooner or later we all hit that crossroads, whether you’re transitioning your life or transitioning between projects, it’s time to recharge. Alina has been through this process – and delivered a TEDx talk about it. We learn from Alina’s experience, unpack the process, and delve into authenticity, passion, and taking risks…not just in writing, but in life!

Part 2 of 2.
