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 Control Lot Delete. This is a replay episode of my chat with Sophie Walker from April 2020.

Sophie is a feminist activist, author and founding leader of the Women's Equality Party.

In this episode, we are chatting about Sophie's new book called Five Rules for Rebellion, which is an inspiring five step journey to incorporating activism into our daily lives.

It features stories of new and seasoned activists from Amica George to Jack Monroe. It's all about feeling less despair and more able to channel your anger and channel your want to change things and arm yourself with hope, practice perseverance and connect with others more compassionately.

I found Sophie Walker so inspiring as I always do. So I hope you enjoyed this episode.

Thank you so much for coming on. We've got so much to talk about.

Oh, I'm so delighted to be here. Thank you for inviting me.

I don't know if you remember that a while ago, we were on a panel together. I can't remember what it was for.

I do remember it was a sort of creative industry event, I think, wasn't it? Something like that.

And I just go, I don't remember much from it, but all I do remember is hearing you speak and feeling like I was reminded that I could be a bit angry.

Excellent. In the nice goods.

I felt really, I was like, oh my god, I really turn things down and I really soften what I'm trying to say and you, you just say it and yeah, I loved it.

And I also quite relieved because I think I've always been quite impatient.

And I have often in the past been described as feisty, which is a word I love.

I use it for women and animals.

And I've often thought, oh, maybe I should, you know, try and be, try and behave.

But no, I don't. I find it, yeah, get itchy. I get being told what to do and what space to take up makes me very claustrophobic.
