Coming Down to Earth with Novelist and Mother Who Makes, Matilda Leyser
Matilda Leyser is the author of No Season but the Summer, a novel that combines the Greek Persephone myth with modern day England, climate change, and, ultimately, a story about mother-daughter relationships. But being a novelist is just one of her second chapter stories, after running away from words to join the circus (amongst other things!) Matilda is a theatre-maker, writer and artistic director of Mothers Who Make. Prior to becoming a mother she worked for 10 years as a circus aerialist, collaborating with diverse theatre and dance companies and making her own work. She came down to earth in 2008 and became an Associate Director with Improbable. She became a mother in 2012 and considers motherhood, and her writing, to be far more dangerous endeavours than being a circus aerialist.You can find more about Matilda and her various pursuits at:www.matildaleyser.co.ukhttps://motherswhomake.orghttps://www.improbable.co.uk~~~Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.

Grabbing Life By the Slice with Pizza Artist, Miriam Weiskind
This week I’m speaking with pizza artist, Miriam Weiskind. Formerly a graphic designer... ahem, brand strategist... Miriam found a way to combine two of her greatest loves, running and pizza, in a way she never expected. It led to a totally new life of pizza tours, pizza paying it forward and pizza making, getting her through a bad break-up and the pandemic and leading to articles in the New York Times and appearances on Kelly Clarkson and Chopped (to name a few).Miriam is an old friend whose story I’ve followed since my Brooklyn days, having known her through our triathlon club. Her change after 35 involves love, loss, giving back and a LOT of pizza.For more on Miriam, check out: https://linktr.ee/thezareportMunchies short film about Miriam can be seen here: https://youtu.be/6E0ilkXyamk#formom #womeninpizza #takealittlepizzamyheart #womeninpizza #bakingthepizzadream~~~Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.

Writing Her Second Chapter with Author, Lyn Yeowart
Lyn Yeowart has been a writer for most of her career, but decided to go back for a creative writing master's degree some 30 years after graduating with an education degree. But Lyn's biggest change may have been something that was less to do with writing and career, and more to do with self and worth.Lyn is the author of The Silent Listener. Propelling the reader back and forth between the 1940s, 1960s and 1980s, The Silent Listener is an unforgettable literary suspense novel set in the dark, gothic heart of rural Australia. CW: Lyn and I do discuss childhood abuse, which may be upsetting to some listeners. As always, I try to discuss important topics like these with careful consideration and with the feelings of my guest and my listeners at heart. Lyn's story is ultimately joyful and inspiring. For more on Lyn and her work, go to: www.lynyeowart.com  www.lynxwriting.comInstagram: @lynyeowartauthor~~~Subscribe, review and share The Second Chapter- wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or on podchaser.com- For more, go to thesecondchapterpodcast.com- If you like what we do, buy us a virtual coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thesecondchapterTwitter: @slacklineprodu2, Instagram: @the_second_chapter_podcast,On Facebook and YouTube as Slackline Productions #womenover35 #wearebadassOn The Second Chapter, serial careerist and founder of Slackline Productions, Kristin Duffy, chats with women who started the second (or third… or fifth!) chapter in their careers and lives, after 35.
