On origin stories, Signal Fires, following your instincts, and writing because your head will explode if you don't

Thank you

, , and many others for tuning into our live conversation, that was such fun! And a huge thank you to Dani for sharing so generously. You can find Dani’s books, stories, essays, workshops, news, all things Family Secrets, and all of her upcoming events at danishapiro.com
