About this episode

<p>For author Taylor Jenkins Reid, fame is a brilliant lens through which to examine societal expectations of women. The female celebrities in her glamourous novels all navigate the restrictions put on their behaviour in very different ways, in turn mirroring how all women – famous or not – might feel compelled to act.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this chat, Fearne and Taylor share how much of their own self-worth is wrapped up in their perception of what they’ve achieved, across both a day and an entire lifetime. Plus, Taylor explains why we don’t necessarily know who we are until we give a lot of activities and jobs a try, and why pure, unadulterated joy is just as good a reason as any to do something.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Daisy Jones and The Six is available to stream on Amazon Prime from 3rd March.</p><br><p>Carrie Soto is Back is out now in hardback:</p><p><a href="https://shared.outlook.inky.com/link?domain=protect-eu.mimecast.com&amp;t=h.eJx9j02rwjAQRf-KZK35MkYriIK6c_N4O3fTNLahpin5QKq8_27zUNy5mxkOZ-59oOSvaD1BTYx9WBPSexe1ijOdsDVWKwgRK2dJINVJ_e7P8ngwP8NQr8xdHSTfVs6C6Ta97upkuhHFqUXTCWqzdLCp9i71JICHBt8aE_XuffzXspICwIpSURWS04sUgpfjWs6BjvOCMLlccsHnjGFRZLHO4mvpnWv17vXWQzfmaFwK-pOgyuA3IObi7O8Jwd9URQ.MEUCIEBQPppTa9Cfk9qCDUZiDCnCXKSSGVPx30-K8yezmv-TAiEAl_z0M_5b8Nmwbd7HMSS-PMjj_NRoqnlcFevWAyuC51A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/441945/carrie-soto-is-back-by-reid-taylor-jenkins/9781529152128</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
