“People don’t always remember what you say, or even what you do, but they always remember how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou
On this week’s show, I have the pleasure of sharing tea and biscuits on the sofa with author and story-teller Laura Jane Williams. Laura is the author of BECOMING and ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST, as well as Grazia’s ex-dating columnist and a new opinion columnist for RED magazine online. She’s featured in the new STYLIST book “Life Lessons from Remarkable Women”, is currently in development for a TV show, and when she isn’t teaching writing classes online, is also in the middle of writing her third book.
I met Laura in December 2016 when I worked with her on a coaching session, which she didn’t think she really needed, but oh boy, the work we did...
I love Laura for the raw way she lives her life through storytelling, and how we she is the narrator of her own becoming as a witness to the everyday highs and lows of being a human.
On the show we explore:
- How we are all our own becoming - an everyday work in progress.
- How to be lonely
- The Difference between being lonely, and being alone.
- The importance of emotional diversity, and not just chasing happiness.
- The ongoing conversations of women in their 30’s and obligations to be having kids
- Why self care is an every day practice of tuning in.
- As well as how being your own storyteller can help you see the magic in every day life in all its wild and varied nature.
Adult language warning, there are few colourful words peppered throughout the interview.
