387 Nancy Morgan: Writing Toward Truth: On Family, Homelessness, and the Stories That Shape Us
About this episode
Nancy Morgan discusses her journey in writing and its connection to family, homelessness, and personal experiences.
Writing has been a guiding force in Nancy Morgan’s life, woven together with her love of language, travel, and cross-cultural learning. Across a career in teaching, curriculum design, media production, and study-abroad leadership, writing has remained at the heart of her work. Now retired, Nancy has turned more deeply to writing as a way to explore life’s complex and difficult questions. Drawing on personal experience, she writes fictionalized accounts about the impact of dysfunction, homelessness, and mental illness on family relationships. Curious about the emotional truths beneath the surface, Nancy strives to “get into the soul of her characters.” Homelessness, a central theme in her writing, is also at the heart of her volunteer work and social commitment. At the center of Nancy’s life is family. She describes her husband, two daughters, and seven grandchildren as her greatest source of joy and grounding. Today, Nancy says simply and gratefully, “I love the life I am living.” “Stories can help us understand what families often struggle to say out loud.” - Nancy Morgan Connect with Nancy Email: nancybattistamorgan@gmail.com Thanking our Platinum Sponsor—AARP Illinois, a…
