Robinne Lee discusses her bestselling novel-turned-movie and the life-changing car crash that reshaped her perspective.

Author and actress Robinne Lee joins Ateh on this week's episode to dish on the global phenomenon of her bestselling novel-turned-hit-movie, The Idea of You, the staggering, real-life car crash that shifted her entire worldview, her fiercely bold decision to move her family 6,000 miles away to Paris, and fighting back against Hollywood’s rampant midlife misogyny.
