SMACKED Author, Eilene Zimmerman, on Writing, White-Collar Ambition, and Her Personal Journey to a Purposeful Life

Eilene Zimmerman, journalist and writer, joins Laura for a discussion of her new book, SMACKED: A Story of White-Collar Ambition, Addiction, and Tragedy. While it explores her husband’s secret addition and subsequent death, it is also a stirring depiction of how Eilene navigated the chaos and ultimately reclaimed control of her own life. Listen in as Eilene and Laura talk about everything from the derisive sexism of her childhood, to the importance of financial independence, and how writing carried her through grief into her next career – as a social worker.
