36. WRITING & ART: When does your real self get to breathe and be seen?
About this episode
1. How writing is a lifeline for Glennon because it’s the one place her real self can tell the truth.
2. Why Abby feels that her time on the soccer field was art.
3. The unorthodox way Glennon’s writing evolved from hourly 5AM sessions to survive sobriety with three young kids to three New York Times Best Sellers.
4. Why it’s horseshit that books by women authors are indiscriminately labeled “self-help.”
