Reclaiming Power Through Fiction: From Political Trauma to Bold Storytelling with NG Avant

Reclaiming Power Through Fiction: From Political Trauma to Bold Storytelling with NG Avant

In this deeply moving episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with NG Avant, a former municipal government professional turned indie author, to explore how fiction became her sword of truth. After experiencing a very public political storm and systemic harassment within Canada's political ecosystem, NG used storytelling as a form of healing, advocacy, and rebellion. Her Capital City series draws from personal and societal injustices to create emotionally rich narratives that reflect the realities many women endure but rarely speak aloud. From discussing the toxic culture in politics to the power of modeling strength for her daughters, NG’s journey is a powerful reminder that healing can begin on the page.

Tune in for a riveting conversation on trauma, transformation, and the unapologetic voice of a woman reclaiming her truth—one fictional character at a time.

About the Guest:
NG Avant is a Canadian indie author, intuitive, and former municipal government insider. She is the creator of the Capital City series—fiction that pulls no punches, rooted in real-life political trauma and laced with hope, courage, and truth. A single mom of three daughters, NG’s mission is to uplift women’s voices through fiction that heals, empowers, and challenges.

Key Takeaways (SEO Optimized):

  • NG Avant turned her political trauma into purpose by writing fiction based on lived experiences, systemic sexism, and public injustice.

  • Her Capital City series was born as a cathartic outlet while reporting misconduct, eventually transforming into a compelling narrative that blends truth and imagination.

  • Through her character Calista Caldwell, NG creates a parallel reality where justice is served and healing is possible—something her real-life experience did not offer.

  • Her books are not for escapism but to mirror society and empower readers with emotional resonance and realism.

  • NG’s advocacy continues beyond books. She fights for legislative changes in Canada and models resilience, strength, and authenticity for her daughters.

  • Her upcoming fantasy series—set to release this Halloween—will feature witchy feminist themes with intuitive, spiritual layers.

  • NG encourages everyone to tell their story, whether through art, journaling, or fiction. Healing doesn’t have to start in a therapist’s office—it can begin on a
