Modern Athenas

In this podcast, we will be discussing the book “A Little More About Me,” by Pam Houston. Pam Houston is a well-known fiction writer. In A Little More About Me, Pam uses essays to tackle the transformative moments of her life and to reflect on the decisions she has made and the various twists and turns her life journey has taken. As Pam takes the reader on this journey, we see that she refuses to ever give up her dreams, and refuses to settle for what others’ expectations are of her. Time after time, she bravely steps into the unknown to challenge herself and to search for who she truly is and who she wants to be. Pam embodies Athena’s perseverance, bravery through challenges, fortitude, and drive.INDEX0:00 Intro and Background of the Book1:07 Mid-30s3:30 Walking on the Edge6:55 Dogs and Kids10:27 Outgrowing Home14:04 Friendship: Loss and Gain19:06 The Grand Tetons: New Boundaries in Life24:38 Conquering Challenges, Accepting When it is Too Much28:37 Insecurities: We All Have Them34:
