Something from the Cellar: Donna Ashworth

This week, we’re revisiting a truly special conversation with the wonderful Donna Ashworth—a poet whose words have offered comfort, hope, and inspiration to so many. In just four years, she has gone from self-publishing her first book to becoming one of the UK’s bestselling poets, amassing a devoted following of nearly half a million readers and topping the Sunday Times bestseller list.

In this episode, Donna shares the remarkable story of how she rebuilt her life after losing her family business, turning a lifelong passion for writing into an unexpected career. She reflects on the pivotal moments that led her to self-publish, the unwavering support of her online followers, and the deeply personal themes woven through her work—from navigating grief and mental health, to the magic of finding joy in the everyday.
