How To Be Honest About Scary Things (with Dani Shapiro) May 12, 2020

Show notes

Dani Shapiro puts deep-rooted family secrets under a microscope in both her New York Times bestselling memoir, Inheritance, and her podcast, Family Secrets. In today’s episode, Dani provides some insight for parents into striking a delicate balance between “the sky is falling” and “we got this.” She also discusses how toxic it can be for families to keep secrets (even those with the best of intentions) and how it’s ultimately better to address tough or painful topics head-on.

You can find more from Dani Shapiro on Instagram, Twitter, and danishapiro.com. And be sure to check out her New York Times bestselling memoir, Inheritance, and her podcast, Family Secrets.

How To Learn Life Lessons from Birth, Death, and Voicemails (with Bess Kalb) May 05, 2020

Show notes

Bess Kalb is an Emmy-nominated writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live, a regular contributor to The New Yorker, and author of Nobody Will Tell You This But Me, a laugh/cry book based on her close relationship with her late grandmother. Bess talks about recently becoming a mother herself, raising an infant in isolation, and the wisdom she continues to derive from her grandma: “There's a refrain that my grandma said frequently throughout her life. It's, ‘Bessie, when the earth is cracking behind your feet and you feel like the whole world is going to swallow you up, you put one foot in front of the other and keep going forward.’”
