Welcome back to 'The Conversation Coffee Break with Nadine Matheson'. Today, we're taking a break with the insightful Philippa Found, author of the thought-provoking book, It's Complicated: Collected Confessions of Messy Modern Love. Philippa shares her journey of collecting 250 anonymous confessions that delve into the complexities of modern relationships, from dating to breakups and everything in between.

Throughout our engaging conversation, Philippa reflects on the importance of creating a judgment-free space for people to share their stories, especially during the isolating times of lockdown. She discusses how her project began as an art initiative and evolved into a powerful collection that resonates with readers on a deep, emotional level. We explore the nuances of love, the struggles of self-acceptance, and the impact of societal expectations on our personal narratives.

Join us as we uncover the layers of Philippa's work, her motivations behind the book, and the profound connections readers have made with the stories shared within its pages. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the messy, beautiful reality of love in all its forms.
