In today’s episode, I am chatting with Gill Paul. Gill is the bestselling author of twelve historical novels, many of them about real women from the past whom she thinks have been marginalized or misjudged by historians. Gill was born in Scotland and grew up there, apart from an eventful year at school in the US when she was ten. She studied Medicine at Glasgow University, then English Literature and History (she was a student for a long time), before moving to London to work in publishing. Her first novel was written at weekends, but she has now given up the ‘day job’ to write fiction full-time. Gill swims daily, year-round in a wild pond and loves vintage clothes, old movies, and poking around in bookshops. Her latest novel, Scandalous Women, released yesterday, congrats Gill!

That’s because not long ago, she looked down and discovered that my life had become an over-planted mess that was choking out her relationships, creativity, and purpose. That’s when some soul-searching journal time and a late-night re-reading of my great-great-grandmother’s classic book The Secret Garden unearthed this Well-Tended Life Truth: That EVERY locked-up, weed-filled, withering life can bloom and grow again with the help of a little magic. I am so excited to have her on the show today!
This was such a fantastic conversation and it is packed with helpful tips! From de-cluttering your mind and mental load, to ideas for a daily journal practice.

In today's episode, I am chatting with Katherine Snow Smith. Katherine is a Raleigh native and has lived throughout the south as a newspaper reporter, editor, daughter, sister, mother, wife, divorcee and friend. She’s worked at small town papers and business journals, but spent most of her career at the esteemed Tampa Bay Times. A few decades (no need to count them) after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in journalism, she’s getting her master’s at her alma mater so she can teach on a college level. Katherine, who has three 20-something children, divides her time between Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and St. Petersburg, Florida. Her memoir, Stepping on the Blender & Other Times Life Gets Messy was publishing in November 2023.
This is such a fun episode, Katherine shared all about the writing of her book, Stepping on the Blender & Other Times Life Gets Messy, including how funny life can be, but also the experience of sharing the raw and honest essays. She talks about the differences in writing as a reporter versus for personal essay. We chatted about how we can feel connected through reading, library tips with young children, as well as a fabulous gift idea for your friends! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Happy listening!
