Today's spoiler-free minisode (the first one in years!) includes a conversation between Kaytee and author Jessica N Turner. Jessica is the author of multiple books. Her newest is I Thought it Would Be Better Than This, a memoir wrapped into self-help about dealing with disappointment in our lives. Tune in to hear about: The process of writing a book that intricately details someone else's story. What it was like to pivot from more traditional productivity and self-help into memoir. Finding love again. The "soft" places we land when we are hurting. Ways to be a witness and be with someone in their grief and disappointment. Jessica's own Current Reads.
