Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to have writer Carly Schwartz on the show today. Carly is the former editor in chief of the San Francisco Examiner and founding editor of HuffPost's San Francisco bureau. Editor and Publisher named her one of 10 "Women to Watch," and her writing has appeared in the San Francisco Standard, ELLE Magazine, MSNBC, and more. 

As an advocate for suicide prevention and addiction recovery, Carly has been a spokesperson for the Jed Foundation and Google's Recovery Month. She's also the founder of Mindwriters, a workshop series designed to help people transform their lives through storytelling. She lives in San Francisco's Mission District. 

Pick up a copy of Carly Schwartz's debut memoir, I'll Try Anything Twice: Misadventures of A Self Medicated Life, out now from She Writes Press and available wherever books are sold.
