Conversations I Love to Have

I’m drawn to conversations that explore the quiet truths beneath our lives — ageing, desire, reinvention, visibility, emotional inheritance, shame, and the stories we carry quietly for years before we find the courage to speak them.

These are the themes I’m often invited to discuss on podcasts, radio and television, and in the questions, readers bring to my writing.

I’m especially interested in conversations about:

  • Ageing and waking up parts of myself I had left behind

  • Reinvention at any stage of life

  • Becoming visible again after years of self-erasure

  • Desire, courage, and asking for what you want

  • The emotional inheritance we carry from our families

  • Shame and the stories we hide

  • Grief, longing, and becoming ourselves again

  • Writing as a way to restory a life

These are the conversations that keep finding me — in interviews, at festivals, and in the emails, readers send from around the world.
