Writing Through Depression, with Natalie Roberts
The Indie Author Mindset Podcast
08/22/20 • 17 min
Why are writers so prone to depression? And why are depressives often more creatively minded than other people? Could social media be ruining your mental health?
Natalie Roberts is a writer who's lived with depression for most of her life. She knows the power of writing and has studied the effects writing has on depressives — and that depressives have on writing.
In this honest and frank episode, she tells us why many of us might not realise our mental health is being affected by the way we live our lives, and we ponder why that might be — as well as how we can combat it to become healthier writers.

How writing nearly cost James P Sumner his life
The Indie Author Mindset Podcast
01/20/20 • 23 min
In this special guest interview episode, I speak to thriller author James P Sumner.
James went from dreaming of writing a book to being a full-time author earning a strong mid-five-figure income. Then he lost it all.
The stress of his writing career cost him his marriage, his mental and physical health and almost his life.
Now back in the rat-race whilst writing in his spare time, James reflects on what went wrong, how other authors can avoid making the same mistakes — and how this time he's going to make it work.
