In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Jenny Lawson regaled listeners with uproarious stories of her bizarre childhood. In Furiously Happy, she explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. And terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

From a childhood in rural Piopio, Jenny-May Coffin grew up to achieve international success as a Silver Fern and then began a stellar career on radio and television as a sports commentator and morning presenter. But outward success can often mask inner uncertainty, and Jenny-May lost her grip on the confidence her ten-year-old self possessed. The ups and downs of a full life, with tragedies as well as triumphs, left her in need of renewal.

To those who know her, it’s hardly a surprise that Jenny Blackhurst would eventually become a crime writer. After the birth of her first son, she returned to her childhood love of thrillers and crime fiction and wrote her debut novel, How I Lost You. Jenny joins Robin Morgan in the Audible Studios to discuss her latest psychological thriller, Before I Let You In.

They're happily married, they've just bought a house, the company they built together from the ground up is starting to blossom. But with the arrival of their son, a feeling of anxiety slips into their life. What starts as a feeling becomes a conviction.

Jenny führt schon als Teenager ein Leben auf der Überholspur und lässt dabei fast nichts aus. Schon früh sammelt sie sexuelle Erfahrungen und genießt ihr Leben in vollen Zügen. Ihr Aussehen öffnet ihr dabei alle Türen, aber nicht hinter jeder verbirgt sich Gutes. Doch Jenny ist nicht aufzuhalten. Ihr Leben ist eine einzige Party, aus der sie nicht mehr aussteigen will, aber dieser ausschweifende, ungesunde Lebensstil kostet Geld. Viel Geld. Zum Glück ist Jenny eine geschäftstüchtige Frau – und ein Luder. WILD. SCHAMLOS. UNVERBLÜMT.

Becoming a mom is the single most transformative experience a woman could go through. This is a podcast that I wish I heard when I got pregnant. We talk about how priorities, finances, values, and lifestyle, change - a lot. At least, it did for me.

This is a real, raw, and relevant podcast for moms everywhere to be encouraged, feel seen, informed, and have some laughs on the way!

Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, the mountains have always been home for Jenny Tough. Travelling the world, she's always discovered commonalities with mountains—and mountain people. Her major project is to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent where indigenous mountain people live isolated from the outside, urban world. Running solo and unsupported comes with obvious logistical as well as physical challenges, but running is also a common language.

In 2018, amateur cyclist Jenny Graham left family and friends behind in Scotland to become the fastest woman to cycle around the world. Alone and unsupported, she crossed the finish line at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin four months later, smashing the female record by nearly three weeks. With infectious wit and honesty, Jenny brings listeners into her remarkable Round the World adventure, as she takes on four continents, 16 countries – and countless cups of coffee.

Growing up, Jenny Pentland’s life was a literal sitcom. Many of the storylines for her mother’s smash hit series, Roseanne, were drawn from Pentland’s early family life in working-class Denver. But that was only the beginning of the drama. Roseanne Barr’s success as a comedian catapulted the family from the Rockies to star-studded Hollywood—with its toxic culture of money, celebrity, and prying tabloids that was destabilizing for a child in grade school.

Jenny Boyd's extraordinary life is the stuff of movies and novels, a story of incredible people and places experienced at a pivotal time in the 20th century. As an up-and-coming young model, Jenny found herself at the heart of Carnaby Street in London, immersed in the fashion and pop culture of the Swinging 60s. With boyfriend Mick Fleetwood, sister Pattie, George Harrison and the rest of the Beatles, she lived the London scene. But as a natural Flower Child, Jenny soon became part of the counter-culture in San Francisco during the Flower Power era.

What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury.

In August 2014 Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. She didn't know how to react. All responses felt scripted, laden with cliché. Being a writer, she decided to write about it (grappling with the unoriginality even of this) and to tell a story she had not yet told: that of being taken in, aged 15, by the author Doris Lessing and the subsequent 50 years of their complex relationship.

Between 1941 and 1945, Wynne Brooks waited for her young soldier husband, Mickey, to return to her. In all the time he was away she wrote to him - first daily, then weekly, never knowing his whereabouts. In 1945, at the end of the war, her letters were returned, their messages of comfort and love unread, bearing the War Office stamp "No Trace".

Exclusive interview. Best-selling author Jenny Colgan joins Maddie Hickish in the Audible Studios to talk about her work.

In the summer of 1990, Cathy's brother, Matty, was knocked down by a car on the way home from a night out, two weeks before receiving his GCSE results. Sitting by his unconscious body in hospital, holding his hand and watching his heartbeat on the monitors, Cathy and her parents willed him to survive. They did not know then that there are many fates worse than death.

A gift from an overseas relative, Graycie, an African Gray parrot, arrives in the Gardiner home not long after the birth of their first child, adding the responsibilities of parrot-hood to their newfound parenthood. Jenny Gardiner and her husband were hoping for a docile, beautifully plumed, Polly-want-a-cracker type of companion - but patchily feathered, scrawny, ill-tempered Graycie was the furthest thing from what they envisioned.

Jenny Mollen is an actress and writer living in Los Angeles. She is also a wife, married to a famous guy (which is annoying only because he gets free shit and she doesn't). She doesn't want much from life. Just to be loved - by everybody: her parents, her dogs, her ex-boyfriends, her ex-boyfriends' dogs, her husband, her husband's ex-girlfriends, her husband's ex-girlfriend's new boyfriends, etc.

Inspired and inspiring, award-winning author Jane Enright’s extraordinary, uplifting memoir captures her journey as she survives three life-altering events in the span of a year, losing almost everything, and comes out the other side stronger, more resilient, and happier than ever before. Compelling and thought provoking, Butter Side Up is not only a feel-good story that everyone can relate to and learn from, but also proof there can be happiness and joy after the unexpected—and a super awesome life, too.

Raised in depression-era California, Jaqi Wade's family life wasn't easy, but they managed. She married her marine at the end of WWII and set about making a home wherever life took them. She never imagined taking her three children to live in Brazil. No amount of studying could adequately prepare them to deal with the shock of life at a different pace - a different language, a different culture, a different system of measurement where a slight miscalculation could give you five pounds of ground beef instead of one.
