In this episode, Madeleine Spencer is joined by the writer Ella Ward, who, in Ella's words "has worked in advertising for 22 years. This means she has a proclivity for profanity and doesn’t respect punctuation. In 2018 she was hit with the cancer stick, which apart from being rather frightening also encouraged a foray into oversharing on Instagram, and then – magically – writing. Her first book, 27 Letters to my Daughter, was released through HarperCollins Australia in 2022. A novel is on its way. Ella lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband, child, dog, cat and many neuroses."

During the episode, we touch on all those things, and others besides - the joy of bright pink lipstick, especially. You may find some of the topics triggering, so do please be aware of that when listening.

The episode was produced by Rich Jarman, with artwork by Sung Lee.
