I was born in Boston and I was raised outside of Boston. But I do love to start my interviews way back at the very beginning, so I'd love to hear about where you were born and raised.ĭoree Shafrir: Sure.

Sarah Enni: And we're gonna get into your podcasting and your debut novel, all of it.

So excited to ask you about Thanks For Waiting your memoir, which just came out, which was such a pleasure to read. Sarah Enni: So hi Doree, how are you doing today?ĭoree Shafrir: Hi Sarah.

I loved what Doree had to say about learning to live on her own timetable, how podcasts serve a fundamental part of the human experience, showing people that they're not alone, and the counter-intuitive way that Doree found to lower the stakes in her own life. Doree joins us to talk about her debut memoir, Thanks For Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer. This week I'm talking to Doree Shafrir, co-host of the Forever 35 podcast, and author of Startup.

Welcome to First Draft with me, Sarah Enni.
