Episode 136: Celebrate Change with Brit Bennett

“Symbols matter, but symbols are not everything.”

- Brit Bennett

Kate’s in her feelings this week and having weird melatonin dreams, and Doree’s got a book recc and a delicious pasta recipe. Then, NY Times bestselling author Brit Bennett (The Vanishing Half and The Mothers) joins them to discuss how she carves out and protects her writing time, what it’s like to celebrate a birthday and a bestselling book during a pandemic, and shares a music recc that doubles as her self-care.
