In this episode, we talk with writer Chelsea Collings about taking on her memoir, which weaves us through her early childhood in the wild world of Libby, Montana. Chelsea shares stories of small-town life and the way a place and its people leave lasting imprints. We talk about the process of writing a memoir, showing up to hard things, and how she approached turning an unusual childhood into narrative, then leaves us with a surprise ending. Not to mention, the pink hotel.
It’s a thoughtful conversation about frailty and freedom, of family and friends, and the work of writing from real life.
