Let's Talk Memoir
Episode 213 ft. Tamara Jong
Tamara Jong joins Let’s Talk Memoir for a conversation about growing up Jehovah’s Witness, her mother’s untimely passing, losing faith, disguising who we are, trying multiple approaches to a writing practice, navigating material that resists us, becoming vulnerable, the tenderness of losing, learning to trust ourselves, weaving in motherhood and mother figures in our work, finding community and home, spirituality without religion, when we feel comfortable enough to be ourselves, and her new memoir in essays Worldly Girls.
