Quote of the week:
“Sometimes the healthiest thing a person can do is fall apart.” —Malena Ernman
What I’m reading:
The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness by Jill Filipovic
What I’m listening to:
Our House is On Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis by Malena Ernman, Greta Thuberg, Svante Thuberg, and Beata Ernman
What I’m watching:
“I Am Greta” (Hulu) — I’m now obsessed with her (hence why I’m listening to the above book)
“Firefly Lane” (Netflix) — based on the Kristin Hannah book which I have not read yet
Writing news:
- Scary Mommy published an essay I wrote about the pandemic’s ongoing assault on mothers: “Moms Literally Can’t Do It All, and that Narrative is Killing Us”
- I just finished a first draft of a new book. I’m currently at the “Is this any good or am I delusional?” stage
Here are your usual reminders:
- All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss will be released on March 23. We are doing an online launch event on that date–register here (it’s free!)
- People Who Knew Me will be re-released on May 11
- No Hiding in Boise will release on June 15
What I’m talking about:
- The value of female friendship–something I’m really starting to understand as I get older
- The joy and the pain of having a 3-year-old
- The fine line between being energized by everything on your plate and being completely overwhelmed into paralysis
What I’m grateful for:
The dear friends who fill my cup. They know who they are. And my cat who keeps me company while I work every day.
