Living with metastatic breast cancer often means living a contradiction. It’s balancing the weight of a terminal diagnosis while keeping up with the daily routines of life—picking up the kids from carpool, going to work, cooking dinner. It’s experiencing how the simple, day-to-day activities of “living” can feel so distant from what truly nurtures your spirit and helps you thrive—whether you’re dealing with cancer or not.

In this 90-minute writing workshop, we’ll explore the emotional terrain of navigating these paradoxes, using writing to find meaning and healing.

This session is a companion to our upcoming issue of Wildfire Journal on the theme of MBC: Paradox, guest-edited by Alyssa Tsagong of Temple of Kinship. Join me on August 12th, whether you’re preparing to submit a piece for this special issue, or simply want to write with others who understand what it means to living with MBC.

We’ll use expressive writing prompts, reflection, and optional sharing to access the deeper truths that live in our bodies, memories, and daily lives.

You don’t need to write well. You just need to show up honestly.
