🎧: F*****g up as a good thing w/ Verena von Pfetten (part 1)

Excited to share part 1 of my conversation with Verena von Pfetten, cofounder of Gossamer magazine. Verena was my first-ever editor and has been a mentor to me over the past five years, so she seemed like the perfect person to weigh in on March’s Dear Baby questions. This episode has big existential-crisis energy, you’ve been warned. We cover these two questions: * Can you talk about the feeling of it being “too late"? I know logistically it isn't true but the feeling is overwhelming. * I recently received some disappointing career news. Should I tell myself everything happens for a reason? Is there another way? Come back next week for part 2 where we cover aging, mistakes (but when they’re good), and writer’s block. Thanks for listening!Haley This month a portion of subscriber proceeds will be redistributed to CAAV, an organization working to build grassroots community power across diverse poor and working class Asian immigrant and refugee communities in New York City.
