Loved this episode and the conversation! I could have listened for hours :) There are so many bits and pieces that hit a nerve and it'll take some solitude to sort these reactions out and see what might come of them.

"It's better to be scared than to be bored" - I never phrased it like that, but it explains so well how I've been moving through the world. Thank you! 🫢🏻

I absolutely loved this conversation Emma, from Jenn's first response to your hard question :) I loved the bit on the discomfort of writing - I have many thoughts! Plus I must dust down my copy of Drinking A love Story - I read it when it came out and it sounds like it has stood the test of time and inspired other memoirs about our addiction culture.

I enjoyed this so much, Emma! Thank you for the chat with Jennβ€”I was not familiar with her

and am so excited to now go and explore her work. Two things that really stood out for me: when you said β€œshe’s so full of herself” is meant as an insult but actually it’s gorgeous to see a woman full of her Self; and when Jenn said β€œyou can’t be seen when you’re hiding”. Wisdom!
