Happy Thursday everyone!

Today on the show, we bring you the inimitable Rupi Kaur. Rupi is the writer and poet of three best-selling books: Milk and Honey, The Sun and her Flowers, and Home Body, which have sold a cumulative 8 million copies worldwide and been translated into 42 languages. In 2017, Kaur was named in BBC’s 100 Women list, and in 2019, The New Republic named her the writer of the decade.

For more from Rupi, follow her on Instagram at @rupikaur_. And buy her fantastic book, Home Body, right here.
