Episode 183 - Pen, Paper, Power: Writing Your Way Through Menopause After Cancer
Description
The menopause transition after cancer can feel overwhelming — it’s hard to know what to do next, how to process it all, or even where to start. This episode offers a gentle, creative way in.
Rory Green shares her own story as a cancer survivor, writer and psychotherapist, navigating menopause, and how writing became a powerful outlet for healing, release, and self-discovery. Rory runs transforative Write To Be You workshops and today, she tells us how we could all make a start to tap into the healing powers of putting pen to paper.
We talk about:
- Why writing is more than just words on a page
- How journaling supports emotional wellbeing after treatment
- The magic of small, honest moments
- Tips for anyone wanting to start (or restart) writing for themselves
