  This is a great one! And Anderson hits it on the nose when she references the times we&apos;re living in. I&apos;m her age and I&apos;m living in a friend-of-a-friend&apos;s house for the time being because rent&apos;s too high, my job was cut, and people of a certain age have trouble finding work again. THIS is not where life was going for so many people, yet here we are. One thing goes wrong and it&apos;s all downhill thereafter. We are, most of us, one or two paychecks away from being on the street. If I didn&apos;t have a network of friends, I would be on the street, and I could not be more grateful because I know that so many people do not have the means that I do.<br><br>Each of us is tethered tenuously to one another in the blanket of humanity, yet most of us will pull those threads which stand out, that need help to be mended, due to our own fears and sense of lack. /breaks down soapbox <br><br>I don&apos;t know about Anderson&apos;s personal life, but I very much enjoy her work, especially circa 2011 to her current projects. Absolute gem.

  Gillian opened this podcast with a brilliant question: &nbsp;how am I &nbsp;complicit in not getting what I want?

  I relate to getting back on track in my 50&apos;s. There is just something in that shift.

  Love the spirit and friendliness of this interview. Also love the colour of the velvet curtain behind Gillian. A simple, classy backdrop is rare these days.

  I was 19 when my older brother died at 20 and my mom had just given birth 1 month before my brother passed. I lost my brother and my mom went into postpartum depression with my brother’s death and had to deal with a baby brother 19 years younger than me! My life was a roller coaster. <br><br>I find myself being a mom to my brother rather than a sister. My mom passed at 62, I say of 💔. I had to deal with pass molestation, Divorce and baby brother. I survived 🙏🏽 Thank you Gillian for your life experience 💙💜💛 Thank you Rachel🫶🏽

  When she mentioned California, it reminded me of -&gt; Big Yellow Taxi Joni Mitchell<br>&quot;They paved paradise, put up a parking lot &quot;

  Ive never been so emotionally vulnerable when watching an interview,this was so moving and amazing. I just want to give them both a big hug. The work that gillian has done has changed so many people&apos;s lives, mine especially. I quit my job not long after reading want, I had been bullied and down trodden in my workplace and gillian helped me find my voice and say hang on I&apos;m worth more then this, my mental health means more then this job. And for that I thank gillian with my whole heart.😢❤
