Reclaiming Identity as We Age, Motherhood, Desire, and the Joy of Loving Something—Anything—Like Your Life Depends on It with Author Tabitha Carvan
Have you ever subsumed yourself so completely in something external—motherhood, career, a relationship that you lost your sense of self? Meet Tabitha Carvan, author of "This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch: The Joy of Loving Something—Anything—Like Your Life Depends On It." Tabitha was a mother of young children when she fell hard, from afar for the actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Slowly she realized that her preoccupation with the actor was not about Cumberbatch; it was about feeling passionate about something that restored her sense of self. We get into how aging can erase or rebuild our identities, motherhood, the taboo of embracing desire, and her stunning and hilarious debut book. And if you're thinking, "Benedict Cumber-who?', time to hit Google to see what all the fuss is about. ;-)
