S6 Ep269: Interview: Author/writer Brigid Delaney (The Next Step)

Brigid Delaney is currently a political speechwriter. She was a journalist for The Guardian , and wrote popular weekly column, ' Brigid Delaney's Diary ',’ which we little a little about in this interview. She wrote that column for eight years. It is so good. Like unbelievably and consistently funny, it’s stood the test of time. Read the cheese story and the mansion story mentioned in the episode—they’re incredible! Brigid also wrote Wellmania , the book that the Netflix series is based. But the main thing that Katherine and Brigid talk a lot in this interview about is stoicism, which is the focus of her most recent book, Reasons Not to Worry . Katherine has wanted to speak to Brigid about stoicism for a long time. Brigid wrote an article about stoicism when COVID first started, and it felt like it offered a sort of solace that wasn’t anywhere else. The concepts are so useful, particularly for creatives and people putting art/writing into the world. Check out show notes for this episode at katherinecollette.com ,
