Getting Creative with Adversity

A conversation with Kimberly Warner
Cross-post from Writers in Relationship
Hello readers! I have a special treat for you today. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sharing a conversation with author Gail Marlene Schwartz on her podcast Writers in Relationship, and unlike my previous collaborative posts, this time I got to answer the questions! Friends, this was one of my favorite interviews to date. I can get a bit broken-record sometimes after five years of sharing about Unfixed, but Gail’s presence and wisdom breathed new life into my narrative and boy was it fun. Please enjoy this conversation and then subscribe to Gail or check out her wonderful debut novel Falling Through the Night! -

I'm applying what I've learned living with my unfixed body into other realms now and seeing these voices on Substack through that lens...like, wow, how can we be creative with this kind of adversity?

I have a huge professional crush on Kimberly Warner of Unfixed Media and Unfixed Substack. Kim writes and makes films about human experiences of vulnerability, and I first discovered her work through another Substack friend, Mr. Troy Ford. She struck me as someone who’s able to bring her authentic self into something as icky as self promotion and turn the whole enterprise into something so much larger; from I to we. Inviting her on Writers in Relationship for a chat, given the focus of her work, was a no-brainer.

Check out Kim’s memoir and other writings (her most recent essay, In Defense of Bitter, is one of my favorites, like, ever) on Unfixed Substack. You can also check out her video work on Unfixed Media.
