Isolated interview with Eden Simchah, author of her debut memoir Becoming Shameless. Make sure to follow Eden on Instagram @writing.eden!
Becoming Shameless is now available to purchase on Amazon, and it is also available to download on Kindle Unlimited.
Goodreads summary:
Becoming Shameless is one woman's story of making self-love from scratch. Unflinchingly raw and fiercely hopeful, Eden chronicles her experience of breaking free from a narcissistic mother to become her own person. Her healing journey includes coming out as a lesbian at twenty-seven, redefining beauty for herself, and cultivating joy.
Trigger warnings (in order of most to least frequently mentioned): child abuse, binge eating disorder, homophobia, slurs, and sexual assault.
