At 7.48am Iāve already been four stories (I counted š). Love all your thoughts on storytelling. I feel my story stopped being told once I got to the āmade redundant and started own businessā and Iāve never looked at or told the many iterations, ups and downs and inside outs of my 10 years as my own boss. It doesnāt fit into that story arc but maybe thatās what makes it real and interesting. Thanks for making me think as always.
Of course you have! I think we do outgrow our stories without realising so often. Watching you + your business grow over the years I know you have so, so many important ones to share.ā¤ļø I know Iād love to hear them xo
Thanks for the inspiration š. Iāve loved watching your journey too - I think there are many parallels. And weāre both still here doing PR and enjoying it (most of the time!) x
A timely link to the New Yorker piece, thank you. A couple of weeks ago I was complaining about the number of Marys in the Bible and a friend told me of a book that suggested they were all the same one - apart from Jesus's mother. This article shed further light/asked more questions yet why should we be surprised by the erasing or diminishing of women's stories for so many centuries?
I thought it was so interesting and I'd been reading about Mary of Egypt separately - for me she doesn't seem to be the same person. I guess conflating women is another form of erasure. For me, Marie Howe's beautiful Magdalene collection is the most embodied portrayal of her. I can't recommend it enough xo

Lol - you've probably heard a LOT of mine Kate! xo
