The Shift With Sam Baker is a reader-supported publication. To receive podcast previews, essays, weekly recs, bookclub news and more, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

For some time now, I’ve been wondering how to give subscribers the inside track on The Shift podcast, whilst keeping it free for everyone to listen. (It’s important to me that everyone can access these often life-changing and air-punching conversations where women over 40 share their wisdom and experience.)

Then, last week I interviewed life coach and self-help legend Martha Beck about her brilliant new book Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, creativity and finding your life’s purpose for next week’s episode of the podcast (dropping on Tuesday, 24 Feb, 1am GMT, get it in your diaries). Our conversation, about anxiety and creativity and forcing ourself into boxes that no longer (and, frankly, never did) fit us, and how to get out of them, felt so utterly necessary for right now – and so perspective-shifting for me personally – that I want to let The Shift’s community of paying subscribers in on it ahead of time.
