Episode notes

Why do I write about my life, including the messy parts?

In this episode, I talk about why I've spent years turning my own experiences into stories, from bad dates and divorce to family, caregiving, getting older, and all the strange little moments in between.

Some stories are funny. Some aren't. Some are uncomfortable to tell. But I've learned that the stories we think are uniquely ours are often the ones someone else needs to hear.

This is why I keep telling mine.
