Melissa Febos on Obsessive Love, Addiction, and the Healing Power of Writing

I mean my understanding of sort of race and ethnicity and all the things that being native means in this country, or most of them. It was this weird sort of personal erasure that happened where I was like I am this, but I'm not this, but I can't claim it.
Have you ever wondered how someone can transform their darkest experiences into powerful stories of healing? In this episode of HOME Podcast, hosts Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker chat with Melissa Febos, author of 'Whip Smart' and 'Abandon Me'. Febos opens up about her journey through obsessive love, addiction, and mental illness, sharing how she found recovery and peace along the way.
Her candid conversation touches on the therapeutic nature of writing and the impact of social media on mental health. Febos' personal stories about identity, relationships, and healing are both raw and inspiring. Whether you're in recovery or simply interested in the human experience, this episode offers a unique perspective on overcoming life's challenges.
