Gaia | The Author

Hello there, friend! Thank you for stopping by ✨
My name is Gaia Kriščák. I’m a writer, podcaster, and certified coach. I share with others the power and secrets of writing as a wellness practice.

Writing in Our Times

Our times demand a lot from us. We are told to be productive, happy, smart, healthy, sociable, energetic, successful, serene, relaxed, good-looking, and polite.

Thanks to technology, we are also reminded that everyone else is managing to do so.

Are you?

Trick question: no one is.

Talents, as a result, become another way to monetize our time.

Our gifts, the things that used to bring us joy, are now joined at the hip with our careers. Or, even worse, pushed under the rug because they don’t bring in enough money.

In both cases, the joy of expressing our gifts gets lost in the process.

Nowadays, the product gets all the attention — people have lost touch with the healing side of the writing craft.

But don’t worry. That’s where I come in.

Writing as a Self-care Practice

I can’t fix the world, and I won’t make a best-selling author out of you. Not on purpose, at least.

I can, though, provide space and care.

There was a moment in every writer’s life where you got lost in your craft. Time stopped existing. As if by magic, your words helped you discover who you are and who you wanted to be.

It doesn’t matter what you were writing. You know what I’m talking about. My goal is to reconnect you with that.

Writing was born as a means of communication and record-keeping. There are countless practical applications of it, but we tend to forget its fundamental aspect: self-discovery.

It is not by chance that writing and language, signs and sounds, have been forever associated with magic.

Writing and magic are, first and foremost, a way to communicate with ourselves. A way to look at what we are. A way to give shape to thoughts and feelings.

We just forgot about it.

A weekly show where, in each episode, I share some insights on how intuitive writing works, in relation to a specific theme. At the end of each episode, I also provide a writing prompt and practical pieces of advice.

You can find this podcast on any streaming platform and on my YouTube channel, Gaia & The Way Home, as a video podcast too.

COMING SOON: Live Poetry Sessions

Each month I go live on Substack and I pick a theme you suggested. Then, we write poetry together like the bunch of nerds we are.

Introvert-friendly: you don’t need to read or speak if you don’t want to.
