This week is all about reframing life's big transitions as we talk with
writer Carley Fortune about leaving her steady career in the Canadian
media industry to work as a solo writer and novelist. She tells us about
the concept of matrescence, something she has written about in her time
with Refinery29 — a challenging experience that many parents undergo
but aren't able to name. We're also treated to a napkin pitch for Every Summer After, her forthcoming novel about the nostalgia of young summer love and the choices that change us forever.
