Embodied Writing Warrior: Food Freedom, Creativity & Spiritual Reclamation
For the spicy fanfic storyteller, myth-maker, and too-much soul who’s done playing small.
Welcome to the storytelling temple where your body becomes the sacred pen, your healing becomes the plot twist, and your words shape whole new worlds.
This is for the creatives and misfits who feel more seen by spicy romance novels than self-help books.
For the writers, feelers, shapeshifters, and spiritual rebels who’ve always processed life through stories - and are finally ready to write their own.
In this space, your "too much" becomes your initiation.
Your creativity becomes your compass.
And your inner world becomes the map to your most powerful, embodied self.
Here, we don’t “fix” you.
We mythologize you.
We reclaim every shadow and archetype - through the written word, through
movement, through wild emotional truth.
✨ This isn’t just self-development.
It’s sacred storytelling.
It’s fanfic meets frequency work.
It’s personal growth… in eyeliner and plot armor.

What happens when fantasy, romance, and trauma collide?
You get something raw, powerful, and deeply human. You get traumantasy—a genre that author Lily from Mother of Stories stumbled into… and then fell in love with.
In this episode of the Embodied Writing Warrior Podcast, we dive into the world of traumantasy and what makes it so unique. Lily shares how her original intention to write high fantasy was gently overtaken by a deeper calling: to write stories about trauma, relationships, identity, and healing. What emerged was a genre that offers more than escape—it offers reclamation.
We talk about:
- Why trauma-centered fiction can be a form of therapy—for both writer and reader
- The importance of diverse representation in fantasy and romance
- The healing power of community, especially when readers recognize themselves in each other
- Writing through the lens of Internal Family Systems and parts work
- Why intention and execution matter when writing outside your lived identity
- And how embracing your nonlinear, neurodivergent process can still create magic
Lily's current projects include a novel titled Hearts Change My Scars, a monster erotica novelette, and ongoing work on her Substack newsletter Mother of Stories. Her writing is filled with emotionally complex characters, moral nuance, and the kind of catharsis we don’t always get in real life.
Whether you're a fellow writer or a devoted reader of darker romance and trauma-informed fantasy, this conversation will leave you feeling seen—and maybe even a little more whole.
