Explicit content warning

01/31/23 • 101 min

This week I spiraled out with academic, author & podcaster Hannah McGregor (Witch, Please; A Sentimental Education.) We talked sticky jam-handed shame monsters, confessed insecurities/projections about each other, unpacked humiliating teenaged moments and our queer femme identities, and SO MUCH MORE.
Plus, Hannah tells a super juicy and HORRIBLE shame story about a toxic dynamic with her academic mentor when she was a graduate student, and how that shame-filled relationship impacts how she shows up as a professor for her students to this day.
Follow Hannah on Instagram @ hkpmcgregor, and her podcast Witch, Please on Instagram & Twitter @ohwitchplease. Also: buy her recently released book A Sentimental Education! It is funny, brilliant, and real, just like Hannah. https://www.wlupress.wlu.ca/Books/A/A-Sentimental-Education
