In this episode of We Love Everyone, Marcy Barbaro and Alex Morin talk about transformation, inspiration, and how creativity can spill into every area of life.

Marcy asks Alex about his recent eight-week family trip to Spain, a journey that didn’t go as expected. With five or six weeks of bad weather, the trip could easily have been disappointing—but instead, it became a meaningful experience filled with discovery, culture, and new perspectives.

Everything shifted in the final two weeks, when Alex met a music teacher who reignited his lifelong love of music. That moment sparked a creative reawakening that didn’t stop with music. It carried into writing, work, family life, health, and overall energy. By reconnecting with something he loves, Alex found himself more productive, more inspired, and more alive than he has felt in years.

Marcy and Alex connect this experience to the work they do with writers at Working Writers Co., where coaching is about more than finishing a manuscript. It’s about helping people rediscover their voice, their creativity, and their sense of possibility. When inspiration returns, everything changes — and that transformation often spreads far beyond the page.

This episode explores how creativity fuels life, how passion creates momentum, and why the role of a coach is often to help someone remember who they really are.
