The cards weren't stacked for writer/actor Annabelle Gurwitch when she divorced. If she sold her house, she would never be able to buy back into the real estate market, so she had to find a new way to earn. With trepidation, she began renting out a bedroom to strangers. As a funny, thoughtful, and woke writer, Annabelle writes about regaining her finances, her sexual mojo, and many other personal topics in her new book You're Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility.
Annabelle Gurwitch’s 5 Things that make her life better:
1. Young Jean Lee - Korean American playwright and her musical: We're Gonna Die, 2. Say My Name - the power of hearing your own name out loud, 3. Primo Levi's Quaestio de Centauris, 4. TikTok books that make you sob videos, 5.The Handshake.
Lisa Birnbach’s 5 Things:
