Alka Joshi (The Perfumist of Paris) is on the Radar!

BOOKSTORM Podcast welcomes back NYT bestselling author ALKA JOSHI to discuss The Perfumist of Paris!  Once again, Alka transports us to another place  and time, infused with the complex and enticing scents of perfume in the making: lavender, geranium, violet, cedar, sage, musk, sandalwood, vetiver, incense … a mud hut … a person you love. We talk about how these scents, both the good and the bad, comprise our lives.  We dive deep into the role of women in the 1970s, particularly as they were negotiating career choices and family responsibilities. Can parents have it all? Maybe so, but it's easy to lose oneself in the process. How do we reclaim that lost part? Perhaps by pursuing a long-held dream or developing a talent? We talk about being intentional. A quote: “The measure of us isn’t in the day-to-day. And it’s not in our past or our future. It’s in the fundamental changes we make within ourselves over a lifetime.” Wow! Have you struggled with shame over a past decision? What about something that happened that was out of your control?  Are we as a society equipping young people to dismantle negative self-talk and turn those once-shameful experiences into something inspiring?
