Nick Shaw, MY TEACHER, MY SON: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love

Zibby is joined by author Nick Shaw to discuss MY TEACHER, MY SON, a heart-piercing memoir (in prose, poetry, and photographs) about losing his nine-year-old son William in a freak skiing accident and navigating the depths of grief after that. Nick Shaw describes the day of the accident and then delves into his journey of grief, reflection, and newfound spirituality. He reveals how writing became a cathartic outlet for his emotions as he grappled with mortality. Finally, he describes his self-publishing experience, from enjoying the creative control to navigating distribution platforms.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4980pXPShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
