About this episode

Sadie Johnson discusses her family's narrative and its impact on her identity after three decades in writing and editing.

Sadie Johnson spent three decades as a writer and editor in newspapers, magazines, and marketing. Storytelling comes naturally to her, and it’s the narrative of her family - and how it shaped who she became and refused to become - that she’s turning toward now and joined me to discuss.
