Lauren Martin on feeling lost, and finding comfort in the words of women

Lauren Martin is a writer and the founder of Words Of Women, a labour of love she started when she was searching for something to help herself and other women who were feeling lost. In this episode, Lauren delves into the intricacies of self-initiated work and the thoughtful process behind writing and curating her popular newsletter, blog and Instagram account. We talk about flat days and good days, social isolation, how routine helps when you’re in a rut, comparison, the tension between being a night-owl but being clearest in the morning, as well as how personal projects can buoy us. Follow Words of Women on Instagram or visit wordsofwomen.com* * *Thank you for listening to Routines & Ruts, a labour of love fuelled by time and curiosity.
