Writing What Scares You With Clover Stroud | Before the Work Begins Podcast

What do creative people really do before their work begins? Jo Hutton, author of best-selling Substack Yoga for Tired People, sits down with the movers and shakers of the creative industry to find out what their mornings actually look like. This week Jo is joined by Clover Stroud, writer and author, to talk about confessional writing, grief, and what keeps drawing her back to the page. They cover the losses that have shaped her life and work, the cultural shift in how personal storytelling is received, and why Substack has changed things for writers like Clover. Plus what her relationship with horses has taught her, and how writing the hardest things down can end up being the most generous thing you offer a reader.
