Finding Fantastic Joy with Leah Johnson

from For Love of Memoir · host Erin Swanson

What happens when the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels like your own?Before becoming an author, Leah Johnson spent years building a successful career in politics, advocating for others and helping shape public policy. But behind that success, she was struggling to advocate for herself.One line from our conversation has stayed with me:"I spent a lifetime building advocacy campaigns for everyone else but myself."In this episode, we explore success, identity, addiction, creativity, and what it takes to choose a life that feels aligned with who you really are.It's a conversation about memoir, but it's also a conversation about the courage to rewrite the stories we've been living.🎙️ Listen wherever you enjoy podcasts.@ForLoveOfMemoirFollow Leah and purchase a copy of Finding Fantastic Joy here:https://www.findingfantasticjoy.com/
