[Sarah Montana, Part 2]: The good and the bad of sharing your traumatic stories + the mindbending messages in Britney Spearss memoir Ep 1048
Heads up: In this second part of my interview with screenwriter Sarah Montana, we discuss trauma and suicide, so please take care while listening.\nEven without those discussions, in this episode Sarah goes deep into some major truths about life and you probably don\u2019t want to be listening while you\u2019re doing chores or around other people so you can let it all in. (I\u2019m still processing it all! In the very very best way.)\nSarah talks about her own traumatic stories (without going into detail) and how there is incredible fulfillment that comes from helping others by sharing your story, AND there\u2019s a shit sandwich that comes along with it\nFictionalizing your traumatic experiences to express the feelings while also creating boundaries (it also lets you say and do the things you wish you\u2019d said and done in real life)\nHow Brittany Spears\u2019s memoir got Sarah thinking deeply about success and freedom\nThoughts on how having power can trigger you to express it in very-no-good ways, just because you can, or what Sarah calls \u201cthe intoxication of power\u201d\nHow having money does not equal safety\nThe writer\u2019s strike as an opportunity to be a citizen, not just a worker\nLearn more about your ad choices.
