204: The Last Migration: How fiction can help us heal the planet.

I am thrilled to welcome our first fiction author to the show this week, looking at the power of fiction in a time when reality can be very confronting. It can give us strength, raise our levels of compassion and curiosity for all sorts of issues and we explore all that and more looking at Charlotte McConaghy’s new book The Last Migration. We talk about what Charlotte found while researching her book as well as how the process has impacted her personally. The Arctic Tern, in its lifetime, will fly to the moon and back three times. It has the longest migration of any bird on the planet and flies from the arctic to the Antarctic and back again. Franny, the central character’s search for a sense of home, family and belonging mirrors that great trek of the tern. I won’t divulge more, you’ll just have to listen.  Enjoy this rich conversation and head over to the show notes for the sponsor offer and further details on xxx at lowtoxlife.com/podcast See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
