Alison Cochrun spent over a decade as a high school English teacher before a shift led her to become a full-time author. In this episode, we talk about the reality of that transition, from the adrenaline of writing her first book draft in just six days to the grueling, transformative experience of walking 200 miles on the Camino de Santiago.
We dive into the messy parts of the creative process, including how she uses fiction to process her own life and how a period of severe depression and writer's block led her to the Portuguese coast. It is a conversation about burnout, the necessity of time alone, and why the hardest parts of a journey are often what make it worth doing.
