Hi friends,
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Lindsay.
On Wednesdays, I release a brand new episode of my audio memoir which asks the question: In the absence of a ‘well’ mother, can it ever be possible to become a ‘good enough’ one yourself?
This is part of the Membership along with access to all my autumn/winter 2024 courses and the archive where you can dig in to posts like these:

“There is so much here for smart, creative women from this smart, creative woman, plus I have only just discovered Lindsay reading extracts from her powerful memoir – I am already hooked (and now a complete fan of her work).”
I'm starting with the woman in the mirror...
"Lindsay is an utterly compelling storyteller. Her writing is stunning: simultaneously warm yet visceral, sharp yet funny. She generously invites community get-togethers, shares writing prompts and excerpts from what will be her smash hit book. An absolute treat." Emma Simpson, Lemon Soul
This week’s episode…
30th November 2020
In a therapy session, Lindsay recounts an incident with her elder daughter and the family's pet bunnies. It prompted her to reflect that at 37 she hasn't seen a dead body. Hasn't seen anyone or anything in the process of dying. With her own threat response so heightened, would she recognise it if it was happening in front of her? Can she trust what she's seeing? What she's feeling? Is she able to comfort her daughter in her distress when they are both so triggered?

Helen writes to Tom reporting that she's struggling to control her emotions at work. She knows it's inappropriate to be so visibly upset, but can’t help it. When will his demob come so that he can save her from herself?
