Remember The Magic - MWRF Part 5 w Asha Frost

And the pub date is November the 3rd, but I just handed in my first kind of draft of my edits, so I feel like I'm in it still, you know? I'm in that birthing place and that writing place, andIt's exciting

Inner winter.

I mean, I know what that means to me.

What does it mean to you?

Yeah.

So I wrote this book for all of the people who maybe are unwinding from that narrative that we have to be living in a perpetual summer, because I think that's what colonialism and capitalism has told us.

So people who live in bodies who suffer with maybe a chronic illness or disability or perhaps, um, are neurodivergent or sensitive, you know, and they just see the world in a different way, and they have a different way of moving in the world.

So that's really what it's for.

But it's really a personal story.

I've been wanting to write this for my whole life because I've, um, walked with lupus for most of my life.

So it really is a personal story mixed with healing, mixed with, I hope, acknowledgement and seeing and validation for folks who are navigating the medical system and their bodies and the state of the world at the same time.

Oh, thank you so much for writing this book.

Honestly, like I...

This is my first question that I have here on my list.

[clears throat] And I did not know about the new book, so the wavelength, wavelength is strong.

You and I both deal with chronic illness.

This is the question from my list here.

[laughs] So forgive me for the repetition, but I...

And you and I both suffer with a chronic illness, and I think we both suffer from that same instinct that we're not good enough-

Wow

... or we're not doing enough.

And like I said, so much of your content feels like a breath of fresh air, that unlearning of capitalist urgency, the ability to say no, being kind to yourself in others in a sometimes unkind world.

And so I can't wait for Inner Winter.

I can't wait for November.

Please, how do you do it?
