Writer and podcast host Doree Shafrir (Forever 35, Matt and Doree's Eggcellent Adventure) returns to the show to talk about her first memoir: Thanks for Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer. We talk about writing the memoir versus writing her novel Startup, growing disillusioned with journalism, switching her career focus from journalism to podcasting, missing New York, motherhood, infertility, Tik Tok, pandemic burnout, her shows, control and so much more. We also took your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.
