the art of starting again: turning a rut into a reset

69 never sounded so good

For my very first interview on Her First Draft, I brought on someone who knows me better than anyone, my mum.

We talk about her life, the lessons she learned the hard way, and the kind of advice only a woman with almost seven decades of experience can give.
