Hello, this is Emma Ganon, and thank you for listening to this podcast. I just wanted to let you know that my new book, The Success Myth, Letting Go of Having It All, is out on May the 18th.

I think it's my best book yet, so I'm excited for it to come out. And the book unpicks the eight success myths from happiness, to money, to productivity, to celebrity, to the idea of finally arriving, and how chasing a version of success that doesn't align with your values can really take you off track.

And this book is about getting back to yourself, breaking free, finding a new way forward. And it's available on May the 18th. If you love this podcast, you'll love the book, and it's available soon from all good bookshops.

So you can order yours now. I hope you like it.

Hello, and welcome back to another replay episode. This time with the brilliant Catlin Moran, she is an award-winning columnist, author, and script writer, and someone I've been following for years.

She is perhaps best known for her multi award-winning bestseller How to Be a Woman, which has now been published in 28 countries, and it went on to sell millions of copies.

Around the time of recording this episode, she had just released a follow-up book 10 years later called More than a Woman.

So we talk about this book mainly in this episode, why she wrote it, being a woman in your 40s, being a mother, helping a loved one who is struggling, and of course there's some writing tips in there.

But it was so fun talking about where she is now, where she was then, and everything that's happened in between.

So I hope you enjoy this episode with Catlin Moran.

I realized that it's to the day two years ago that I interviewed you and Bath. Do you remember that?

I was trying to remember where it was. Yeah, we were in that room, and we couldn't find the wine as far as I remember, or I was trying to get cider and then smoke out of a window.

I mean, that's my new situation in any situation.

I had the classic experience of interviewing you, so it was amazing.

Also, I remember you showing me a trailer on your computer of how to build a girl with Beanie.

And then I saw her on Amazon Prime the other night, and it's amazing.

Oh, thank you. It was such a joy and a delight to do like, you know, I mean, I would be honest.

I only realized that I'd actually done a film. I think that's the technical term.

When two days ago, they sent the shooting script over for me to sign off before they put it online because you put all scripts of movies,

because they've been made online so people can see them. And I suddenly looked at the script and just went,

oh, my God, I wrote a film. Literally every word in here, I wrote, and then some people went away and made that happen.

And Beanie Feldstein from Booksmart did it, and then it had Emma Thompson in.
