In this episode, I welcome Penny Wincer, a Melbourne-born author, writing coach, and podcast host based in London. Penny shares her midlife journey from a freelance photographer to a writer and non-fiction coach all while navigating life as a single parent and caregiver.
We chatted about the challenges of caregiving, and the importance of self-compassion and Penny is exceptionally honest about the lack of societal support for carers.
I'm so grateful Penny was able to be my guest and for her thoughtful exploration of balancing personal aspirations with caregiving responsibilities. It's a wonderful chat and I hope you enjoy it too.
