Maybe it’s not typical for an interviewer to be so biased about their guests — but I love Maddie Burton. Maddie is the author of “On The Cusp,” a newsletter with thousands of subscribers that she began last year, after experiencing a series of difficult losses.
I loved this interview with Maddie (and I'm glad I discovered your newsletter, Anna! Look forward to reading more!). I've been fortunate to connect with Maddie through this platform, and I loved all of this context. And Maddie, our mind meld continues! I got chills as I read this line: "But as someone who used to live for the future, whose organizing principle was taking care of my future self, and making my present self endure a lot of challenges for the sake of tomorrow, I do a much better job chasing down things that I want to do, and prioritizing them in the here and now." I share this (toxic) trait, and I'm working on a newsletter about exactly this topic as I type this! My current self is excited for your future self to read it. ;)
Abby, thank you so much for the kind words! I can't wait to read your post as well about this — overplanning is my toxic trait, too! Lol. Yes, I also got chills talking with Maddie....so much of her work resonates with me so strongly. Glad to connect with you Abby :)
Abby, I'm *so* glad you found Anna this way...you're going to absolutely love her work! My current self is now eagerly anticipating the joy my future self will experience while reading your upcoming, extremely relevant newsletter edition 😂
Anna, I’m so thankful we got the chance to sit down and chat. Thank you for being the most prepared and thoughtful interviewer I could’ve ever asked for!
I’m so excited to read your reflections on our interview soon (it’s a hard choice, but I’d say that those are probably my favorite part of your newsletter). ❤️
Maddie, thank you so much for being open to being interviewed! <3 You are so thoughtful, brilliant, and kind. I can't wait to share the reflections piece too ;)
Anna, what a thoughtful interview full of genuine connection. I love Maddie’s writing and am fairly new so learning more about what she went through and how the experiences shaped her was beautiful!
