Flashback Friday: You Can Do Better Than That Flashback Friday began as a way to revisit older work—not to tidy up the past, but to reexamine the stories that shaped me.

13 years ago, I wrote Life in a Northern Town—a family history turned personal reckoning.

This week’s essay picks up where that one left off.

Not just what I left behind—but what I carried too long.

The wonderful @jenbowden12.bsky.social had me on her equally wonderful #NorthernVoices to chat about Mother Naked, but also language, place, and the obstacles we often self-impose when it comes to creative expression.

Even if my voice does your nut, do listen to Jen's other 59 episodes!
