Yrsa Daley-Ward
Season 5, Episode 1: The Daily Discipline with Yrsa Daley-Ward.
“ I think it’s important to be vulnerable, especially in art, because art is really just this bridge. So when I am vulnerable with you, you read it or you listen and then you feel it as well. ”
Yrsa is an author, actor, model, storyteller and screenwriter. She is most known for her debut book, Bone and her autobiographical novel, The Terrible, which won the PEN/Ackerley Prize. Yrsa also co-wrote Black Is King, Beyoncé's musical film and visual album. As Saturn is associated with boundaries and discipline, this episode demonstrates how important these principles are for our creativity. Paradoxically, when we plan out and structure our days, and are disciplined with our daily rituals, we create more freedom and space for self expression and allow inspiration to flow. Caggie and Yrsa talk about fear, how to get out of our own way, the alchemy of writing, vulnerability, and share their own sobriety journeys.
