Hello my Mid-Bloomers! I had the privilege of interviewing Joanne Greene, my guest for today's episode. Joanne is a Writer, Podcaster, Humorist, and Memoirist.   After surviving a life altering accident in 2012, Joanne Greene had to let go of controlling everything in her life, honor the still moments,  and allow herself to crack, finding beauty and possibility in her fragility.  Raised just outside of Boston, Joanne moved to the San Francisco Bay Area post college where she hosted and produced award winning radio programs for decades. Currently, she co-hosts the podcast “All the F Words” with Gabi Moskowitz, exploring issues that start with the letter F.  "In This Story…with Joanne Greene” is her solo podcast in which her micro-essays are set to customized music. By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go, Joanne’s debut book, will be published on June 20th by She Writes Press. She lives in Marin County, California with her husband and creative partner since 1980, and their damn near perfect golden doodle. Both sons and two grandchildren are thriving in L.A.  Pre-order Joanne's book via her website  www.joanne-greene.com https://www.facebook.com/joanne.greene.984 https://www.instagram.com/joannegreene/ https://twitter.com/joannergreen https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanne-greene-b52610/ In order to grow we must reveal our truth and stand in it.
