Going Deep with Mary Louise Kelly on Parenting Choices Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Mary Louise Kelly (host of NPR’s All Things Considered) has been doing some reflecting. What choices did she make and how do they look now, as her nest is nearly empty? Is it okay to travel through war zones when a kid is home with the flu? What is gained and what is lost, for the individuals in question and for society? This is a conversation to take in slowly, to share with every mother you know, and to discuss.

Thanks to the Aspen Ideas Festival. This conversation was recorded before the SAG-AFTRA strike.
