She woke up to a video of her drunk self begging her sober self to change — and that was the moment everything shifted.
Hannah Turner is a poet, author, and coach whose debut poetry collection, The Clarity of Chaos, was born in the most unlikely place: a Paris apartment, a year into sobriety, in the middle of writing a graduate thesis.
In this conversation with Brigitte Cutshall, Hannah opens up about how writing became her lifeline — from silencing her inner critic to processing the raw edges of addiction and finally asking for help.
With honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart, she shares how poetry helped her find her voice when alcohol had been doing the talking.
3 Takeaways:
(1) Humor is a coping skill.
(2) Writing heals what words can’t always say.
(3) Connection over perfection.
