I am joined by author and journalist Sheila Yasmin Mariker. Her debut novel, The Goddess Effect, was released October 1st. The Goddess Effect is a tongue and cheek look at the wellness industry. It follows 30-something Anita on a journey to find just how far she is willing to go to become her best self.
Her work has been published in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Economist, Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, Vogue, and many other publications. Sheila began her career at ABC News. A native of New Jersey, she is a graduate of Cornellt University, where she studied history. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband.
We talk about how different it was to step into the role of author after years of being a journalist. We talk about the wellness industry and why it was the perfect backdrop for Anita's experience. Anita, as well as a lot of other people didn't have her life figured out by the magic age we often associate with adulthood. We talk about societal pressures put on women and how we can change the narrative.
