Carmen Martines: Writing Through Recovery on The Creative High Podcast

I think that's one of the things that I love about being a writer is that you can have these moments of transcendence, and you're not just living in the moment, but you're also recording it.
Imagine finding solace in words when everything else seems lost. That's what Carmen Martines, a writer, poet, and blogger, has achieved through her daily writing practice. In this episode of The Creative High Podcast, hosted by Adriana Marchione, Carmen opens up about how art has been her anchor in the turbulent waters of addiction and recovery. Carmen discusses her daily writing routine, sharing how it has become a crucial part of her recovery journey.
She dives into the impact of being part of a supportive recovery community and how it has fueled her creativity. Carmen also touches on the heart-wrenching experience of losing her best friend and how that loss has shaped her work. One of the most intriguing aspects of Carmen's story is her yearly pilgrimage to Burning Man. She talks about how this unique event has inspired her and provided a space for reflection and artistic expression.
Carmen's blog, Auntie Bubba, is another testament to her dedication to writing and recovery. Throughout the conversation, Carmen and Adriana explore the therapeutic power of art in recovery. They discuss the challenges and rewards of writing about addiction, highlighting how it can be both a cathartic release and a triggering experience. The episode concludes with a moving reading of one of Carmen's poems, offering listeners a glimpse into her soul and creative process.
