In 2021, mother, writer and yoga instructor Linda Geraghty was featured in the stirring and critically acclaimed documentary Our American Family. The project, which was filmed over the course of a year inside Linda’s family home in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, documents the family experience as Nicole, Linda’s adult daughter, begins a journey of recovery from heroin addiction.
For Linda, writing was the lifeline that helped her make sense of her complicated childhood with a mother who suffered from anorexia, and it helped her process her adult life dealing with a spouse and children with substance-abuse disorders. Today, writing is the light that helps Linda unravel and make peace with her family’s generational battle with addiction.
This week on the Mighty Writers Podcast, host Maureen Boland sits down with Linda to discuss life after the documentary, writing toward generational healing, and the practice of letting go.
