How This Utopia started (twelve years ago) and how it has evolved, why it’s taken this long to get it out there (and to get it right) and what I’m trying to achieve with it. This is a public episode.

How Did I Get Here?

I'm Emma von Lindenau, an award winning, bestselling author who has published several books under another name. I'm presently redeveloping an old idea into one that seems timely, and I’m here to share the process.

Here you'll find short narrated chapters released once a week (I hope) interspersed with my thoughts on the current state of the world and how the two things relate. I'll be talking politics, literature, travel, and a whole lot of psychology! I'll be sharing my own stories as well, including my childhood amidst narcissists, addicts, and abusers, and the thirty years I spent in a cult. We'll also talk trauma, healing, and learning to see the world from an attitude of abundance rather than how I was taught to view it, from a place of fear and scarcity. I'll bring in guest experts to help me unpack these crazy times as well. Ultimately, this is a place of hope and resistance. This Utopia (the book) is what I like to describe as a Dickensian Dystopian to Solarpunk adventure. It's modern, but also not, because, after all, there are no new ideas. 

Things will get better, but first we have to imagine the future we want, and then we have to believe in it. Let's manifest the new world together. <a href="https://thisutopia.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">thisutopia.substack.com</a>
