Topics covered : Palestine, Sinéad O’Connor, patriarchy, patriarchal feminine, family dynamics, wellness industry, grief, activism, midlife, decolonisation, liberation for all.

This week I speak to author and teacher, Sarah Durham Wilson, known on Instagram as Sarah of Magdalene.

She lives in Maine with her young daughter Avalon, her cat Odin and dog Riley.

She previously worked as an Arts and music writer with the likes of Rolling Stone, GQ and Vanity Fair.

And in this conversation she talks about Palestine and the impact the devastation in Gaza has had on her, the patriarchy, patriarchal women, the wellness industry and the importance of decolonisation.

This conversation helped me enormously and I think it could for you too.
