Welcome to part 2 of this conversation with writer and journalist Clover Stroud, as we discuss her third memoir The Red Of My Blood: a brutal, bold and brilliant artistic piece of life writing about family, survival, death and grief. I really felt like I lived this book as opposed to reading it, as Clover really goes deep and invites the reader in to experience it all with her. Just a reminder to make sure you listen to part one first, as this is part two of the conversation! Hope you enjoy Clover's wise and beautiful words.

Named Best Business podcast by Vuelio, Webby award nominee and named 50 Best Podcasts by Sunday Times, Ctrl Alt Delete is a gateway into new ideas – with past guests varying far and wide including Elizabeth Gilbert, Reni Eddo-Lodge, Jacqueline Wilson, Lena Dunham, Julia Cameron, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Ava DuVernay, Gillian Anderson and Mrs Hinch.

It's been a year since I last posted on this podcast. Sometimes it’s all a bit too much. Have you considered doing nothing about it? For years, I have written about work, wellbeing and productivity. Then I was struck down by chronic burnout and could barely get out of bed. Something had to change. So I bring you: A Year of Nothing, a moving account of why I had no choice but to switch off, go underground, and find joy and wisdom in mundane pleasures. Split over two books and four seasons, I write about dog borrowing, dopamine dressing, learning how to swim (again), choosing to be child free, tuning into nature and much more. Every purchase of this memoir includes three exclusives: - A foreword by The Godmother of creativity Julia Cameron. - Five beautiful A6 prints by artist and illustrator Georgia-Maia Oliphant, one for each season and one just for you (pictured). - An invite to a virtual event on July 4th, where Emma and TPP founder JP Watson will host a Q&A; and workshop the book’s central question: when you've worked out how to do the most, how do you learn to do nothing? ** Print books will be published on June 12th ** If you would prefer just to buy the digital edition please click here.
