A weird newsletter about all the midlife things: kids, parents, food, sex, holidays, rage, and sweating at night, by the author of Waiting for Birdy and We All Want Impossible Things.
I have treasured Catherine's work since my oldest kid was a baby. Her writing is at turns hilarious and ribald, then poignant and wise. Always generous and huge-hearted.
More than a newsletter, Julie's Pod is like talking with a frank and thoughtful friend. It makes you feel less alone, gives you a break to think more deeply about your life and the world around you, and empowers you to believe in humans again.
Julie is one of my top "parent of adult" role models. She's a fearless-yet-humble writer and a fierce advocate for young people.
Liminal states are the in-between stages—in other words, transitions. As a Gen Xer who is about to become an empty nester, I think about this stuff a lot.
Jenna and I are at similar places in our parenting lives, which we discovered through our writing here. That’s the magic of sharing our stories.
