Summary

We all need to heal, and healing can come through many forms of expression. Christine chats with former creative arts therapist and writer Kristen Mei Chase about different ways to work through logistical and emotional barriers, including the many ways in which writing her debut novel “A Thousand Miles to Graceland” helped her heal and find empathy for both herself and others. They talk about narrative busting on old patterns in relationships, becoming brave, Asian American representation, and more.
