Few books have taken hold of the Gurls Talk team like Three Women and Animal. The vulnerability of Lisa\u2019s writing inspires uncomfortable conversations, encapsulating everything that Gurls Talk is about, so it\u2019s a dream come true to have her on the podcast.

Lisa writes with such brutal honesty, we get to see the rawness of her protagonists as they struggle through messy, complicated feelings. We unpick some of the themes in her work in this episode and talk about how trauma impacts our identity and relationships. \u201cEverything that\u2019s happened to me in the past has informed everything I do in the present, which is why I\u2019m so interested in writing about memories,\u201d Lisa tells us.

We talk about the importance of being honest with our feelings to understand ourselves better. To not be ashamed of our fears but to overcome them. And to simply honour the crazy array of emotions \u2013 both our own and those of others.

Enjoy listening. And as always, mad amounts of love.
