Claire Worch
For three decades, Claire Worch supported creatives—filmmakers, composers, animators, and designers—through Claire & Company. Entering a new chapter, she writes, mentors, coaches, and explores what comes next. A mother of two sons, she travels, skis enthusiastically, embraces aging with curiosity, and practices sitting back to lean in.
Julie Chantal Thompson
Jules is a writer and journalist based in Atlanta, Georgia.
She spent the past year teaching English in Spain where she explored the intersections of art and activism at comedy clubs.
She writes reported essays about healing from religious trauma through symbolism and running.
Jo Rogers
Jo Rogers lives in Wimbledon SW19, home of the London Lawn Tennis Championships. Her ancestors fled religious persecution in France in 1685 and worked as silk weavers in London’s Spitalfields.
Jo studied French and Russian at the Sorbonne, and has worked as a journalist, editor and media relations guru. She’s been studying biography for about ten years and developed a website and blog called Huguenot Jo.
She’s now writing a memoir about growing up in a cult, getting shunned at 15 and surviving the British foster care system.
Sandra J. Edwards
Sandra is an artist, author, activist, and is passionate about finding empowerment through creative exploration and authentic expression.
With a background in education and crisis counseling, Sandy teaches and uses art as a healing antidote to angst and upset.
Her work includes writing, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance and film.
Deborah Waas
Deborah began writing around age 56, needing to put her story on the page, in black and white. Through Janelle’s somatic work and writing, she began exploring long-buried emotions surrounding adoption, motherhood, reunion, and identity. Now 66, she has completed her first memoir draft and is developing a companion workbook.
