Hello podletters, welcome to the first episode of Adleting 2.0 Timelines and what a way

to start the series off. This week I speak to author, journalist and podcaster Sean

Fey. After studying English literature at Oxford University, followed by a graduate

diploma in law, Sean moved to London and worked as a lawyer before her timeline completely

changed. In her own words, in her early 20s, she says she had a complete implosion, quit

her job, moved back to Bristol and came out as a trans woman. We spoke about all of the

above as well as dating, addiction, childlessness as an identity and so much more. I really hope

you enjoy it and as always please do rate, review and subscribe, it helps others to find

the podcast. Happy listening, bye!

last few years. And I wonder if you could talk about that a bit more. Yeah, sure. So yeah,

I wrote a creative sub stack and wrote that post about the fact that I'm well, I'm rapidly

approaching 35, I've turned 35 in a couple of months from when I'm recording and I am

thinking a lot about it, it seems to be hitting me not completely negatively, but it's hitting

me a lot more than 30 did. I don't know why. I think it's because you really are out of

the young person bracket when you're 35 and 30. It just didn't, it didn't feel like that
