episode The Strength of Women with Author Caitlin Shetterly | Motherhood, Illness, Survival & Hope (E.56) artwork

The Strength of Women with Author Caitlin Shetterly | Motherhood, Illness, Survival & Hope (E.56)

Hello Rebel Readers, In this deeply moving episode of the Rebel Reads Podcast, we sit down with acclaimed author Caitlin Shetterly for an honest conversation about motherhood, marriage, illness, survival, and the complicated journey back to yourself after life changes everything. Known for her emotionally rich storytelling and evocative writing, Caitlin shares the heart behind her novels Pete & Alice in Maine and her newest novel that recently released, The Gulf of Lions, stories that explore fractured relationships, modern parenthood, betrayal, resilience, and the quiet ways people try to rebuild after heartbreak. What makes this conversation especially powerful is the real-life connection between Caitlin and her fictional character Alice. Shortly after finishing The Gulf of Lions, Caitlin was diagnosed with the very same form of breast cancer she had written about in the novel. Together, we talk about the surreal experience of fiction mirroring reality, the emotional toll of illness, and the strength it takes to continue forward when life feels uncertain. Set against the beauty of the French countryside, The Gulf of Lions becomes more than a story about travel, it’s about reclaiming joy, rediscovering identity, and learning how to fully live again after trauma. This episode is heartfelt, vulnerable, and incredibly human as we discuss: * Parenthood and the evolving identity of motherhood * Surviving breast cancer * The emotional connection between writers and their characters * Finding beauty and joy after crisis * France, food, family, and healing through travel * The realities of raising children while trying not to lose yourself along the way If you’ve ever struggled to rediscover who you are after heartbreak, illness, or simply the overwhelming demands of life, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
