How to Stay Sane in a House Share with Alice Wilkinson

Today Adrienne is joined by the brilliant Alice Wilkinson ( @alicewilkinsonwrites ). Alice is a writer, editor and journalist at The Telegraph. A previous editor of Waitrose Health, she has featured in many national newspapers and magazines. Alice also writes a weekly Substack newsletter titled 'What's the alternative?' where she takes a counterintuitive look at what matters most to millennials. Between marriage rates dwindling and the cost-of-living soaring, house sharing is becoming more and more common – but that doesn’t stop it being one of the most complex living set-ups of the 21st century. Thankfully, journalist and serial house sharer, Alice Wilkinson is here to help you stay sane when you're feeling stuck. Her new book How to Stay Sane in a House Share is the friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, 'The Millennial Therapist' Sara Kuburic and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.
