The Audacity to Be Ourselves: Writing What’s Real

with Julia Fehrenbacher and Laurie Wagner

In our 90 minutes together, Julia will explore:

Redefining success — and tipping the old definition upside down
Moving from performance into presence
Listening beneath the noise to discover what is true
Softening our relationship with the inner critic
Trusting what wants to move through us
Writing from lived experience with honesty, kindness, and grace
Creating a space where we can be messy, human, and free

Julia Fehrenbacher’s poetry has long lived at the intersection of poetry, blessing, and permission. Her work does not ask us to become someone new. It invites us to return to the self beneath perfectionism, hurry, fear, self-judgment, and the noise of the world.

During this workshop, Julia will share poems that reveal the process behind the poem — the human behind the published poet — including the fears, questions, and moments of uncertainty that arose when she tried to show up honestly.
