Courtney Kocak: Girl Gone Wild Memoir, Reinvention & Owning Your Story

Writer, podcaster and comedian Courtney Kocak joins Annie Wenmiao Yu to unpack her memoir Girl Gone Wild, from her small-town Minnesota roots to reinventing herself as a writer at 27 after leaving acting. She opens up about shedding shame around sexual assault, an abortion at 23, and selling t-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild tour, plus the long road to publishing with a small press. Courtney also shares her flow-state productivity approach, the power of journaling, and why it's never too late to chase a creative dream.
