Stephanie Wittels Wachs Returns

Stephanie Wittels Wachs is a writer, advocate and podcaster. She's the cofounder and chief creative officer of the critically acclaimed and widely respected Lemonada Media podcast network and hosts Last Day, a podcast that in its first season took a look at the opioid crisis in America and in its second season, airing now, is exploring suicide. She's also the author of Everything is Horrible and Wonderful, a searing memoir about losing her brother Harris Wittels to a heroin overdose. She recently relocated from Houston, Texas to Monterrey, California. We talked about her new Northern California lifestyle, sharing a well with neighbors, nosy Cheryl, parenthood, her parents moving in, patient husbands, the differences between hosting the first and second seasons of Last Day, hearing loss, media guidelines surrounding discussions of suicide, grief and so much more. We also did a round of HGFY and Just Me Or Everyone! Full episode available at youtube.com/alisonrosen
