Writer Sarah Maria Griffin is this week's guest on Second Self. Author of Other Words for Smoke, Spare and Found Parts, and Not Lost: A Story About Leaving Home, Sarah is a unique writer and a true individual. We discussed choosing the less trodden path in life, authenticity, retroactively empathising with our dickish teenage selves, making art, changing your mind and the philosophical power of science fiction.

Welcome to Second Self, the podcast about the self we inherit, and the one we create.&nbsp;In this series, I’ll be having conversations with interesting people about the important ideas they’ve adopted and the ones they’ve moved away from through their lives. Though we live in an increasingly polarised landscape where ‘picking a side’ and digging your heels in is incentivised, Second Self is about intellectual curiosity, constructing your own individual identity, and when you need to, changing your mind.
