#HFGather: Sarah Aronson and Padma Venkatraman Writer Chat

Mar 25, 2020 | HFGather, Inspiration

Today’s #HFGather featured host Sarah Aronson and Padma Venkatraman in conversation. They discussed:

  • Engaging in community, not competition
  • Getting in touch with your vulnerable places
  • Writing things that feed your soul, that make you happy
  • Being careful with yourself: slowing down, looking inward
  • Their favorite Highlights meal
  • Follow curiosity while being cautious
  • Not giving up on your dreams just because times are hard

Sarah’s writing prompt this week was all about making a memory map!
