Taking the Pressure Off With Erica J. Schmidt This Is Your Strange and Beautiful Life

    • Arts

It’s a miracle! I managed to launch my podcast. Welcome to This Is Your Strange and Beautiful Life, a podcast where I talk to people who may—or may not—have had the chance to transform their lives into a spectacular TED talk. In this debut solo episode, I introduce the show and do my best to interview myself. I revisit academic highlights from Mrs. Vanden Bosch’s grade one class circa 1991. Next, I unpack my very first morning routine, with accompanying thoughts on Gifted Child Syndrome. And I wrap up with a listener question from “Everyone Thought I’d Be Margaret Atwood by Now,” a tortured writer who fears she will never finish her novel.
