In this episode Amy is joined by past Incubator member, Finn Schubert, all about following narrative threads in our life and business.
They talk about:
- Finding and following narrative threads - even when the narrative is wildly nonlinear
- Knowing when to walk away and begin a new path
- Being willing to listen to our intuitive guides, even when they don’t tell us what we want to hear
- His writing practice and how he decides what stories are for sharing and what stories are for him alone
- Breathwork as a tool for letting go
- and much more!
Finn Schubert (he/him) is the author of Even the Cemeteries Have Space Here, an essay collection exploring his move from NYC to a small town to grieve his infertility. (In a weird twist, he got pregnant as soon as the book came out.) He is a Moth StorySlam-winning storyteller, and his writing has appeared in TheBody, Lit Star Review, and the anthologies Transcending: Trans Buddhist Voices and Places Like Home. He writes a weekly essays newsletter, titled "The Menstruant," exploring the question: What does it mean to be a gay man who loves having a uterus? (Right now: Pregnancy edition.)
Finn’s background is in public health and he most recently worked as the director of HIV services for a large community health center network in Brooklyn prior to transitioning to freelance consulting last year. He offers speaking and workshops regarding LGBTQ+ health, trans and nonbinary inclusion in workplaces and spiritual communities, and public health program design and evaluation. Finn currently lives in NYC and is at work on an essay collection.
