In this episode of The Resilient, we’re going to hear how getting what you wish for may be the worst thing in the world.
Taylor Glenn originally trained as a psychotherapist in New York City, but over a decade ago, she jumped the Atlantic for a new life and a new career in the UK. After winning her first stand-up competition (surprise!), and winning plaudits and awards across the country, she and her husband decided it was the right time to start a family.
Tomorrow, the latest episode of The Resilient lands in your podcast feeds. And by golly, is it a stormer! In it, I speak with UK-based comedienne, former psychotherapist and current “flailing mother” Taylor Glenn about how Twitter became her best counsellor, and muse.
