Julianna Thibodeaux

The loss of a loved one, the end of a long-term relationship, becoming an empty nester, a health crisis, moving or changing jobs: These are just a few of life’s transitions that can challenge us, even when the changes are positive. A large body of literature suggests that both reading about others’ experiences and writing about one’s own can offer solace and even healing. In this workshop, we’ll explore creative writing as a tool for moving through those big moments or understanding their impact once they are complete. All levels of writing experience are welcome!

Julianna Thibodeaux is the founder of Marblehead Writers’ Workshop and an assistant professor at Montserrat College of Art. She lives in Marblehead with her youngest child and is about to complete the transition to becoming an empty nester, the latest in a series of major life transitions.
