What happens when you sit down with a writer who believes that stories can change lives?

In this extended, uncut conversation, we spend time with Sandy Braz discussing journalism, books, curiosity, love, heartbreak, reinvention, yoga, Portuguese culture, and why it's never too late to start over.

Born in Toronto to Portuguese immigrant parents, Sandy eventually found her way to Lisbon, where she now writes her popular newsletter, This Is Not Advice. Along the way, she shares why she writes from the scar, not the wound, why she believes stories will save us, and offers one memorable piece of advice: "If you don't want to be written about... don't date a writer."

This is the full, unedited companion conversation to the latest People Of Lisbon film, featuring all the moments that didn't make the final cut.

Enjoy.

People Of Lisbon is a documentary series exploring the lives of the remarkable people who make Lisbon such a special city.
