Sally Wainwright: Finding Your Voice (and a Drumbeat) at Sixty

Sally Wainwright: Finding Your Voice (and a Drumbeat) at Sixty

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the brilliant writer Sally Wainwright — the mind behind Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax, and Riot Women.

Sally opens up about life in her sixties: from learning to play the drums to discovering the joy (and terror) of taking real time off. She talks about menopause, creativity, and the strange comfort of finally catching up with yourself — emotionally and otherwise.

Whether you’re navigating your own reinvention or just wondering if it’s too late to start something new, this one’s for you. Because no one tells you that growing older can be the most rebellious act of all.
