Emma Dayton Petersen  lives in NYC, and is working towards getting her Masters Degree in Speech Pathology. While studying, she works full time as a Client Success Manager for a life and career coaching company for creatives. She became interested in the field of speech and linguistics during her time as a theater student at CSU, Fullerton. Emma's dream is to use performance and theater as a tool to help people with communicative disorders. Her love of language is what initially drew her to the short story, "Story of Your Life," and we had a fascinating discussion about what language is, how we communicate, and if we'd want to know the future.   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram   Emma Dayton Petersen Instagram   Join the Best Book Ever Newsletter HERE!   Subscribe for FREE to receive weekly emails with complete show notes, photos of our guests, and updates on what Julie is reading on her own time.   Support the podcast for just $5/month and you'll receive the weekly newsletter AND a monthly themed curated book list.   Become a Founder for $100 and you'll receive the weekly newsletter, the monthly curated book list, AND a personal thank you on the podcast AND a Best Book Ever T-Shirt in your favorite color and style.   Discussed in this episode:   Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang (this is a book of short stories; the one we discussed today, 'Story of Your Life', is the story that the movie 'Arrival' is based on.
