Found Voices™ with Carolyn Ziel
Welcome to Found Voices™A podcast about writing and voice and creativity and what I like to call creative mindfulness. I believe that when you find your voice you shift your life. At least that has been my experience and the experience of so many others I know: fellow writers and creatives who I have sat with in writing class and those I teach. When you find your voice you can't help but put it out into the world. This could be through movement, dance, cooking, painting, other art forms, and, of course, for me it is through writing and now this podcast.The process of uncovering your voice interests me, the beginning, the middle and what comes after. There is so much more to say about this, but for now I'll share, I'm in Southern California. I'm open to suggestions regarding topics, possible guests and more. Reach out. Let me know what you think. How you found your voice and listen....Welcome to Found Voices™

Carolyn Ziel talks with heart-centric writer Lois Chapin.
Lois Chapin doesn’t hold back in life or in writing. She is a prolific writer with so much to offer. I had such fun talking with her about creativity, marketing, paddling, life, and what it really means to be a writer in this world. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
Lois Chapin has been writing poetry and short stories since early childhood. Her work has been published by Mulberry Literary, Secret Attic, National League of American Pen Women, On the Bus, Side-Eye on the Apocalypse, Method Writers Speak, FRE&D, among others. Her collection of poetry, Paddle to Paddle, is available on Amazon. Her new book of prose poems, Revisiting Authority, is due out spring of 2026.
She is a psychotherapist in Southern California and a member of the Los Angeles Poets and Writers Collective. She addresses the most challenging aspects of the human condition and writes about cult abuse and religious fanaticism. Between analyzing and commenting on the dark intangible emotions of life, she spends her downtime racing outrigger canoes on the Pacific Ocean. She is mom to two exceptional adult children, and during long hours of writing and editing, her chef sweetheart, Mike, plies her with nutritious creations to make sure she doesn’t starve.
