Announcement: Special Guest
Jowita Bydlowska
Sometimes a guest arrives and leaves the space charged — not just with insight, but with something unnameable. That was this one. I’ve been carrying pieces of this conversation with me for weeks.
You may already know her name — Jowita Bydlowska is a bestselling author and award-winning journalist. Her writing doesn’t flinch: she’s known for exploring addiction, motherhood, sexuality, and survival with brutal clarity and exacting beauty. And if you've read her novels Possessed and Monster, you know what I mean when I say her words haunt.
But what you may not know is how sharp, funny, and deeply intuitive she is in person — how, in this conversation, she opened up about the creative process, the lies we tell ourselves to stay safe, and the strange ache of reinvention.
We also touched on:
Writing as exorcism
Navigating public vulnerability
Sex, power, and ghost stories (literal and figurative)
What it means to be unquiet — and unapologetic
In September, Jowita is starting the book tour for her newest publication, a memoir on shame, releasing in April 2026. Keep an eye out for events in your area or virtually.
This post is your early look — members will always get first insight into our upcoming guests, before we begin the public promo cycle.
And Jowita has more for members only. We’ll be announcing details of our collaboration soon.
Until then — trust me when I say this one’s worth your attention.
Jowita is unforgettable.
