Queenagers,
I’m in Albania! I’m hanging out with my son, in the sun and warmth so thank goddess for scheduling!
In this Fluck Yeah, Friday episode (yes, they’re episodes now 😜), I touch on The Salt Path palaver, but mostly as a segue to “what narratives are you holding?'“
If you’re not sure what I’m on about, there are links below you can check out—but what I really want to spotlight is how often we carry around stories about ourselves that simply aren’t true. Sometimes it’s a full-blown fiction we’ve absorbed, or a meaning we made up as a kid that we never thought to question. (I share an example in the clip.)
I want to hear from you about the narratives you might be carrying. Maybe they’re inherited. Maybe you can re-write them.
Let me know!
Have a great Friday and weekend,
Lisa x
I mentioned:
We Are The Stars by Gina Chick: A superb memoir worth reading, particularly if you grew up in Australia in the 1970s and 80s like me. It’s stunning. I want to hang out in my sauna with her and chat life.
The palaver (if you’re interested)
The original investigative article by Chloe Hadjimatheou
The publishers defending themselves, and
An Offering
My podcast co-host, Whit Stewart, has a beautiful offering: Breath Club. For those of us who like to jump into some breath sessions to work through some shit, Whit is your goddess. She has sessions every Thursday in July, and very reasonably priced too!
Flucking Flourishing Needs Your Story!
Speaking of stories, I am searching for amazing women, or those who identify as women, who want to share theirs on my up-and-coming podcast. It’s all about flourishing and what it means to you. I’m particularly interested in flourishing when the shit goes down, and how it’s shown up in your life.
It’s an idea I’ve had for a while, (a few years in fact!) I initially thought of an anthology but an interview style is so lovely so I am now going with it (and Substack’s tools are great!).
