Dealing with personal loss, embarking on a nomadic lifestyle, and ultimately finding solace and purpose through writing.
For author Douglas Robbins the journey to creativity was anything but conventional.
In this episode I chat with Douglas about his early creative influences, including his mother's theatrical background and his own musical experiences, and the cathartic nature of Douglas' travels across the United States, working various jobs to sustain his adventurous spirit while also taking college classes along the way.
Douglas reflects on the significance of making conscious choices in life and how his experiences have fuelled his philosophical and socially conscious writing.
Now settled in New York with his family, Douglas continues to explore deep themes in his work, ranging from philosophical sci-fi to social commentary. He also shares his plans to transition fully into writing and coaching other writers, emphasising the importance of living a meaningful life and helping others find their voices.
Join us as we explore Douglas's unique journey, the emotional impact of his writing, and his aspirations for the future.
