Poet Donna Ashworth’s masterclass on grief, intentional positivity & the daily ritual that could change your life
About this episode
Donna Ashworth discusses her journey through grief, healing, and the power of positivity.
The ‘people’s poet’ joins Lorraine & Trish to talk about her remarkable life - from cruise ship singer to best selling writer - all the while contending with an eating disorder and a midlife ADHD diagnosis. Discover how Donna, 51, healed from trauma, retrained her brain to silence the inner critic, learned how to nurture a soul algorithm & believes that ‘everything good is on the other side of cringe’. Plus why she’s proud to be a member of ‘the worst poet’s club’. And a beautiful reading from her new book ‘Loss: Words to Weather The Many Waves of Grief’.
