TTFA Anthologies: Two Letters- A Widow Remembers Her Husband With Two Letters
3 September 2024 - 57 minsSubscribe to TTFA Anthologies here.
This is an episode about two letters. One of those is the letter Jim left for his wife, Annie, before he died by suicide. The second is the letter Annie wrote to Jim after his death — and as she dealt with her own mental health issues and suicidality in the wake of it.

S3: How To Lose Your Name
This is an episode from the new season of TTFA Anthologies, go to Apple Podcasts and Spotify to listen to the full season(and past seasons)! _ Cheval spent her entire life trying to be a wedding dress designer (she started sewing at 7 years old and studied fashion design in college). In her mid-20s, she got her big break when a large fashion house hired her to design a wedding dress collection named after herself. But that dream only lasted eight years. She found herself in the middle of a legal battle that would take away her collection, her job as a designer, and eventually her name. Follow Cheval on Instagram @allthatglittersonthegram and check out her new shoe line at sheischeval.com. Originally published 1/24/2023 _ Work is, to most of us, an important part of our lives. We spend something like a third of our lives at work, and even if we’re not working our “dream job” our work gives us a sense of purpose, accomplishment…and – oh, yeah – money to survive.
