<p>In this episode, Madeleine Spencer is joined by the writer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_msellabella/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ella Ward</a>, who, in Ella's words "has worked in advertising for 22 years. This means she has a proclivity for profanity and doesn’t respect punctuation. In 2018 she was hit with the cancer stick, which apart from being rather frightening also encouraged a foray into oversharing on Instagram, and then – magically – writing. Her first book, <a href="https://www.ellaward.com.au/buy-27-letters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>27 Letters to my Daughter</em></a>, was released through HarperCollins Australia in 2022. A novel is on its way. Ella lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband, child, dog, cat and many neuroses."</p><br><p>During the episode, we touch on all those things, and others besides - the joy of bright pink lipstick, especially. You may find some of the topics triggering, so do please be aware of that when listening.</p><br><p>The episode was produced by Rich Jarman, with artwork by Sung Lee.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
