Listen "Story Time: Reading You My Favourite Short Story I’ve Ever Written (Think Abandoned Manor Houses, Long Train Rides & Dark Forests)"
Episode Synopsis
Recorded during a monsoon evening in Delhi with chai in hand and the world quieting outside my window, I read you one of my favourite short stories - a piece I wrote when I was 22, while riding Greyhounds across the American South with an uncharged phone and a journal in my lap.
Where the Women Go is a story about grief, sisterhood, memory, and the spaces that live between dreams and forests, life and afterlife. It’s lyrical and strange and vulnerable. And it matters to me deeply.
This isn’t my usual advice session. It’s a moment of creative connection, the kind I hope reminds you that storytelling is one of the oldest, truest ways we figure ourselves out.
So wherever you are - walking through a park, stirring something on the stove, or curling up in bed - I hope this story wraps around you like a blanket. And maybe stirs something you thought was long buried.
And if you're up for it tonight: write something. Dance a little. Doodle in the margins. Let something creative move through you.
