Cathrine Mahoney: Public Breakups & Finding the Laughter in Life Unravelling

It can feel hard to get into the festive spirit, especially if you’ve got trauma in your past, and especially if it’s tied to a Christmas memory. BUT, my shining light on the Christmas tree is… it can get better! In this week’s episode, I chat about what I’ve done in the last year to really shift my mindset and how Christmas can be an important time for anyone in any kind of recovery.

In this week’s episode, I discuss:
How Christmas felt when I had an eating disorder, and what I wish I’d done differently.
How to cope if your trauma memories are linked to the festive system
Why Christmas can cause us to be sooo hard on ourselves and our recovery.
Why your Negative Bias can kick in over Christmas, and how to rebalance it with the good stuff.
3 ways I keep my triggers in check over Chrissie.
How to rewrite your own Christmas story and challenge your inner critic
How a set of matching pyjamas became of symbol of my recovery

As this season of Sass & Something! comes to a close, you can follow along and reach out on Instagram @amy_molloy. Or, if you’re ready to share your trauma, come and write with me through my Book Writing Remedy course or mentoring program.

Christmas in Recovery & How I FINALLY Feel Safe to Celebrate!

Today, we're joined once again by Ally Hensley, who you might remember from episode 3 of season 2. When we last spoke, Ally was just finishing writing her memoir about the rare condition, which transformed her sexual identity. Since then, she's signed a book agent in the UK (no small feat!). This episode is a must, if you dream of writing a book but you believe you have to be famous for people to care about your story (spoiler alert: you don't!)

In this episode, we talk about:
Dealing with rejection during the pitching process
Writing about a taboo topic – and getting the publishing world to buy in.
The pitfalls of writing about gender and sexuality
The mistake people make when writing memoirs, and how ot avoid it
Writing about traumatic experiences before you’ve even shared it with your friends or family.
The legal juggle of writing a memoir, and how to still share your truth whilst protecting yourself
A sneak behind the curtain of how I support my writers.
Why I say memoir writing can be like therapy therapy!

If you're ready to write that book, doors are now open for my course, The Book Writing Remedy or enquire about working with me 1:1. We can even ghost-write your memoir if you want us to transform your past into a book for you.
