Sarah Treem-A Hero's Journey

In this episode, Tonje talks to television writer, producer, and playwright Sarah Treem about how the war on aging is incredibly anti-female, the male hero’s journey versus the female hero’s journey. About falling apart and rebuilding. The freedom in not trying to justify yourself, creative control, and how the most valuable space is the space of the mind and more. Sarah Treem is a television writer, producer, and playwright. Treem is the co-creator and showrunner of the Golden Globe-winning Showtime drama THE AFFAIR. The series received four Golden Globe nominations during its run, including wins for Best Television Drama, Best Actress in a Television Drama, and Best Supporting Actress in a Television Drama.
