8. Mari Andrew on Turning a Hobby Into a Career, Healing Through Writing, How to Share, and Much More

Mari Andrew is a writer and illustrator who has been inspiring me for years. Her illustration career started as a hobby in 2015 as a form of self expression. She documents her stories through reflections and some water color on paper. Mari’s way with words and colors are a source of comfort to an online audience of over a million, sharing with us stories about grief, relationships, heartache, friendship, trying careers on, illness, and real self love.  In 2018 Mari released her New York Times best selling book: “Am I There Yet? The Loop-de-loop, Zigzagging Journey to Adulthood” and a guide book companion in 2019. Most recently, Mari has published her latest book: “My Inner Sky: On Embracing Day, Night, and All the Times in Between.” It’s the perfect book for this moment as we all need a little more encouragement for present thinking. Mari has also become a hospital chaplain, something I’m very excited to talk to her about.   Welcome to this guided storytelling session of PODCAST NOOR with Mari Andrew on: The Healing Process of Writing, How To Share Almost Everything, and More.  You can support Mari's work here: https://bymariandrew.com/book  Video version of this conversation:  youtube.com/noor  facebook.com/noor  ——  It would mean so much if you could rate + review PODCAST NOOR!
