This second guest episode of A Woman Who Wonders comes to you from
who I recently connected with here on Substack.For those of you reading and listening via email or from a direct link, Substack is the platform where I host this podcast, and my blog. It’s full of wonderful, friendly and creative people.
Sam writes Caravanserai with Samantha Childress, a space for the inner journeys that happen in parallel with our real-world excursions. She’s lived in the Middle East for three years—first in Egypt, now in Jordan—as the spouse of a diplomat, after spending her early career in Washington, D.C. She travels, she reflects, she encounters the bumps in the road that are always present with expat life and shares them with us. In short, she is a woman who wanders (and wonders).
This recording is a narration of a written piece titled Chin Up, Moschino. It’s a beautifully moving read, but to hear it read out loud adds multiple new layers of expression and emotion.
Thankfully her experience of Rome sounds miles better than mine!
I hope you enjoy listening. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
