As featured in the TEDx Talk "Writing on Life" by Leslie Browning | In this career-defining work, Browning explores the breaking point every mind has after finding her own limit during a gauntlet of traumatic events. Pulled out of this blast-crater moment in her life by a friend, she is brought away from the insanity and deep into the snowy Sangre de Cristo Mountains where, standing in front of a herd of wild buffalo, she comes face to face with the terms we all must come to surrounding the loss we face in this life. Offering no answers and seeking no pity, Browning lays herself bare in this radically authentic offering. She carries restricted subjects such as miscarriage, mental illness, and suicide out of the silence by offering her own private journey as an example of the power of transcendence.

About the Author
In early 2018, following the release of her powerfully-vulnerable memoir "To Lose the Madness: Field Notes on Trauma, Loss and Radical Authenticity" and the TEDx Talk she presented at Yale University's TEDx Conference based on her own journey with successive trauma, Browning founded the RadicalAuthenticity.Community website, a community of storytellers who, by sharing our own journey with emotional struggle, help to normalize mental illness and dispel the stigma surrounding it. She is currently working to complete a B.A. in Creative Writing at Harvard University's Extension School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
