Dear Diary, pt. 1: Secrets Women Keep
What do 400 years-worth of women's published diaries tell us about the kinds of secrets and feelings we keep to ourselves? From a 16th-century spiritualist to the diaries of Anne Frank and Ma Yan, writer Sarah Gristwood reveals the everyday histories they document, the age-old frustrations they share and why she's a proponent of hanging onto your old journals. (Yes, even the embarrassing ones!) Highlights include: writing in code, pie for dinner, peach lingerie and notes to future selves.
Sarah's new anthology is Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries.

Hostess with the Mostest
Imagine having to host the Pope and the Chinese President. On the same day. Plus, a whole press corps and socialite circle is watching and waiting to blame you for anything that goes wrong. That’s what Deesha Dyer walked into when she was promoted to White House Social Secretary for the Obama administration in 2015. But even more than her high-stakes responsibilities, Deesha had to reckon with her own imposterism in a system setting her up to fail.
Highlights include: a Condom Queen, 90s hip-hop, unpaid interning, handbag microaggressions and one infamous Tiffany's box.
Deesha's new memoir is Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Attitude.

LOVE IT
I have a request for advice: my mom is someone who believes in not letting anyone monopolize your body and dress codes are stupid… but today I wear a crop top to school and suddenly it was unacceptable. Advice? how do I make her say that she’s being hypocritical? - Charlie
Female Empowerment!
I LOVE LOVE this podcast- one of the few that I can listen to each and every episode. So well thought out, great dialogue, and super educational. Please keep this going!
One-sided at times
Usually I like the podcast, but I have noticed that some of the episodes are one sided. For example, the life coach episode. It does tell one side of the coaching industry and its pitfalls. It doesn’t talk about the side where people are certified through ICF (for example) over a 9-12 month period with classes every week. Where they need 100 hrs of coaching for the first level of certification. Where they are told the difference btwn therapy and coaching, and that any signs of needing therapy should require the coach to refer client to a therapist.
