Episode notes

Catherine May's new book, Enchantment, is available in all good bookshops and please support your local indie if you can. The price of Mint Unlimited has been cut from $30 a month to just $15 a month. I feel like we're all clinging to these things at the moment - but this is a long haul. It's so important to take great care of the people around you as well.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

This week Katherine chats to journalist and writer Alexandra Heminsley, author of Some Body to Love. After infertility treatment, a challenging pregnancy and a sexual assault, Alex found her relationship drifting apart for reasons she couldn’t fully understand. But when her partner finally disclosed that they wanted to transition to being a woman, Alex had to come to terms with something she never expected: being part of a LBTQIA+ family. In this conversation, she explores her compassionate response to her former partner’s needs, how it has changed her viewpoint on life, and how life can be remade in the face of the unexpected.
