CONTENT WARNING: Alex's memoir is about her ten years of teaching in Northern Iraq. This episode contains discussion about war and sexual violence. 

In this episode we’re uncorking something bold and unforgettable: a conversation with the fearless and funny Alex Poppe, author of Breakfast Wine. From biting humor to raw emotional truths, Alex’s work doesn’t flinch—and neither does she. We dive deep into the messy, beautiful chaos of her ten years of teaching in Northern Iraq, what it means to be a feminist, and how there is more that unites us than divides us.
