Anna Holmes Wants You To Own The Pause

Doree Shafrir & Elise Hu
About this episode

This episode has discussions of sexual assault.


Anne Holmes, award-winning writer, editor, and founder of Jezebel, joins Forever35 to discuss her new book The Power of No: A Celebration and how it stemmed from a commencement speech, Anna’s fascination with childhood development and the gendered differences about learning when it’s okay to say no, and her optimism about the conversations that are happening among women today.
