Found Voices™ with Carolyn Ziel
Welcome to Found Voices™A podcast about writing and voice and creativity and what I like to call creative mindfulness. I believe that when you find your voice you shift your life. At least that has been my experience and the experience of so many others I know: fellow writers and creatives who I have sat with in writing class and those I teach. When you find your voice you can't help but put it out into the world. This could be through movement, dance, cooking, painting, other art forms, and, of course, for me it is through writing and now this podcast.The process of uncovering your voice interests me, the beginning, the middle and what comes after. There is so much more to say about this, but for now I'll share, I'm in Southern California. I'm open to suggestions regarding topics, possible guests and more. Reach out. Let me know what you think. How you found your voice and listen....Welcome to Found Voices™
