Jessie Rosen & 'All The Signs': Complicated Conversations Series
In today’s Complicated Conversations we welcome back Jessie Rosen to discuss her new novel, All The Signs, which follows Leah Lockhart, a skeptical doctor who embarks on a journey of self-discovery through astrology. When Jessie first told us the idea for her second novel while chatting with us about her debut last year, The Heirloom, we just knew we would love it! All The Signs does not disappoint, nor did our discussion with Jessie. We chat with her about the personal inspiration for her sophomore novel, the complexities of family dynamics, confronting your past as a way to move forward, and astrology as a tool for self-understanding. Jessie also shares insights around the challenges of writing her second book, specifically how she learned to let go and trust the transformative power of the writing process.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Ryder’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
