Go To on Sweeping Trauma Under the Rug Mar 01, 2024

Show notes

This is a counter intuitive idea that might not land for everyone but deserved to be shared for group consideration. I am very curious what you think so please write us at hello@kellycorrigan.com with your reactions. The concept here is at odds with recent conventional wisdom. I found it surprising but potentially powerful.

Thanks For Being Here Tamar's Eulogy for her Father Everett Feb 18, 2024

Show notes

Tamar Gendler, a former guest on Kelly Corrigan Wonders, wrote this exquisite eulogy for her father Everett. Everett was a brilliant man who was always ahead of his time and yet, in many ways, he was also behind. He enjoyed his meals at a leisurely pace, eschewed modern technology in favor of old-fashioned items and ways of doing things and published his first book at age 86. Everett was not only “ahead” and “behind”, he was also fully present - his life was filled with radical astonishment at the beauty of the world around him and those who inhabited it alongside him.
