Sue Reed is my first guest on the Sage + Siren podcast. Author of The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn, Substack writer at Down Clarty Lonnen, Sue’s writing and shared life experiences resonated with me from the start. I first came across Sue when I read Still juggling lightbulbs forty years on. I read and re-read this post - it kept me reading and wanting to come back for more.Just as I was about to contact Sue to ask if she might be a podcast guest, she messaged me. I was delighted!I loved our conversation - we talked about being 60+ and post-menopausal, and some of the ways this impacts us, especially through writing and expressing our truth; Sue’s complicated relationship with her Mum; using writing to process life experiences; how therapy led Sue to start writing seriously; sustainability, gardening and family; and Sue shared her writing routine.Where To Find Sue* Sue Reed Writes (website)* Down Clarty Lonnen (Substack)* The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn* Instagram* Facebook* Bluesky* TwitterWe mentioned …* Germaine Greer, The Change* Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal* Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal* Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way* Jo Sutton, Yoga for Tired People* Suzy Walker, Writing Hour* Matthew Dicks, Storyworthy* The Open-Toed Sandal Approach by Sue* Sue’s new writing roomBe My GuestIf you would like to join me on the podcast as a guest, please get in touch.
