The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Healing Through Story with Anita Kopacz
In this heartfelt episode, I dialogue with award-winning author and spiritual psychologist Anita Kopacz about the power of storytelling, healing from trauma, and remembering that we are already whole. Anita shares moments from her journey: growing up, reclaiming her voice, and leading her beloved Costa Rica retreat for the past seven years.
We explore how joy, creativity, and service come together in her work, from her Simon & Schuster fiction novels, Shallow Waters and The Wind on Her Tongue to her nonprofit Zero F’s Given, which supports survivors of sexual trauma.
This conversation is a reminder of the strength in softness, the medicine of story, and the joy in simply being.
