Ann Douglas

My guest on this episode of WHAT HAPPENED NEXT is Ann Douglas. Ann is the bestselling author of 26 works of non-fiction — yes, that is correct — and creator of the Mother of All Books series, which have sold over half a million copies in North America.

 

Her most recent book is Navigating the Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women, published by Douglas & McIntyre in 2022. Kim Shiffman, the Editor-in-Chief of Today's Parent, says that Ann's book "made me feel seen, understood and empowered.”

 

Ann and I talk about what it’s like to write 26 books, a feat that included writing her first book in less than two months, while pregnant, and then later writing 5 books in one year. We also talk about the years of emotional and physical burnout that followed that particular stunt, and how she has found a new sense joy and balance by tackling the least emotionally taxing writing project of them all... a novel.
