Well Enough Alone - A Guide To Thriving Solo

Hannah Ferguson: on modern womanhood, what’s driving loneliness in Gen Z, dismantling shame, and building political engagement in a broken world

We live in an age when we’re more connected than at any point in history. But in our terminally online timeline, many young people are feeling a profound sense of loneliness, isolation and pessimism about the future.

 

They are often disengaged from politics and less than hopeful about modern dating and relationships.

 

Our guest this week is someone who has tapped into that feeling of apathy and disconnection and created a powerful platform for social and political change.

 

Hannah Ferguson is the founder and CEO of Cheek Media, an independent news commentary platform that aims to educate and inform while at the same time making young people feel more engaged and less alone.


She talks candidly with Jill about the personal stories she shares in her new book Taboo: Conversations we never had about sex, body image, work and relationships, a vulnerable exploration of modern womanhood that exposes and celebrates the messy, honest and insular parts of ourselves.

 

Hannah is also the co-host of politics and pop culture podcast, Big Small Talk, and the author of two best-selling books, Bite Back and Tabooall this by the age of 25!
