The expression “a fish out of water” means different things to different people. Since fish can’t exist for very long out of water, it clearly has something to do with being out of one’s normal habitat or comfort zone. On this episode of All the F Words, Gabi and Joanne will talk about the history of the term, instances where they’ve each felt like a proverbial fish on dry land, what you can do if you find yourself in such a predicament and what it might mean if you dream about fishes flapping around on the shore of a lake.
Check out Joanne’s new podcast: “In This Story…with Joanne Greene”. In each episode, Joanne shares a flash nonfiction essay, showcasing tales and observations from her animated life. Find it from wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
Joanne’s book, “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” is available for pre-order from your favorite online book seller. Release date is June 20, 2023.
