Gina Frangello is an author, editor, book reviewer, and journalist published in many prestigious journals and publications. She is the author of Every Kind of Wanting, A Life in Men, Slut Lullabies, and My Sister’s Continent.
Despite these many accomplishments, Gina has come to wider reputation for her newest book, a memoir, Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason.
Her book was called “Searing, honest, heartbreaking, heart-mending, and a hell of a ride,” by Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers.
Part memoir, part social commentary, this poignant book of raw candor does what its title implies…it blows the house down, departing from the customary expectations of women’s memoir, and daring to tell the truth about being an imperfect woman who has the sheer audacity to rise into a happy life after making mistakes in her life.

I loved this episode! I wanted to leave a review and rating at Apple Podcasts however the form already had Lucinda Jackson’s review in and I couldn’t find a blank. In any case, Betsy, your incisive questions and conversational space encouraged Frangello to make some super helpful comments. One I especially resonated with us when we hold back feedback/information from our partners about how we’re feeling, they don’t have the information they need to consider changing. This is also true in companies when out of fear employees hold back insight and critique from Mgt who them don’t have the info they could use to change their company. Of course management, as well as partners, need to make it safe to provide that info. Thanks yo you and Gina for a great conversation!
