Description

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Award-winning author Beth Curry introduces Unbound - a podcast where she reads chapters from her non-fiction books and goes deeper, sharing the raw, unfiltered stories behind the words. This isn’t a traditional audiobook; it’s a free, conversational journey through trauma, healing, and liberation, starting with her internationally recognized book All These Beautiful Things. Beth explains why accessibility matters, who she is beyond her credentials, and invites listeners to break free from expectations together.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

ABOUT UNBOUND:

Unbound is where books meet real life.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Beth reads "Weather Balloons" - from Big Trout Lake meteorology to spontaneous poetry that still emerges despite dementia
  • Why creativity survives when memory fails: the neuroscience of resilient artistic expression
  • The caregivers who preserve dignity by meeting Mom where she is, not forcing her into our reality
