Show notes

Kelly finds herself between two Annas -- Anna Quindlen, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer, and Anna Sale, the host of WNYC's popular Death, Sex & Money podcast.

Thanks For Being Here An Unmodern Love Oct 01, 2023

Show notes

Karen McKinney shared her beautiful essay “An Unmodern Love” with us and we’re so grateful that she did. It’s a look at the kind of love she wishes for: historic, enduring and relentless. It’s also a loving remembrance of the 68 years-long marriage between her parents, Holocaust survivors Stanley and Dora.

Karen is currently working on a memoir and has set up an Instagram page to share the photographs and artwork created by her father Stanley.

Go To on Interpreting Discomfort Sep 29, 2023

Going Deep with Rich Roll on Change Sep 26, 2023

Thanks For Being Here Sherri's Wedding Letter to her Son Colton Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

Sherri Coale wrote a deeply-felt “you got this” letter to her son Colton in the days before his wedding. She was certain that if she tried to say all of the important things she wanted him to know, “nonsensical drivel wrapped in tears, would land in his lap”. So, she sat down and wrote him this loving, sage advice-filled letter. This is a great GOTO to share with any young couple you may know…and maybe even your partner.

Go To on How To Talk about Climate Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

A bit of insight on word choice and climate conversations, culled from a piece by John Marshall at Potential Energy Coalition.

Going Deep with Mary Louise Kelly on Parenting Choices Sep 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 For Being Here For the Love of Marshy Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

Shana Moore’s eulogy is a love letter to her very special mom Marcia Livesay McLean, AKA “Marshy”. Getting to grow up with a mom who is there for you “with bells on, no matter what” is a privilege that Shana fully acknowledges. Her heartfelt eulogy paints Marshy as the ultimate voice of the underdog, a “joy maker” who loved beautiful things and a caring mom who made every thing she touched more vibrant.

Going Deep with Rainn Wilson on Spirituality Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Rainn Wilson (who you might know as Dwight Schrute) is making a serious call for a spiritual revolution based on joy, acts of service and being honest about our mixed natures. This is a conversation to share with anyone who is thinking seriously about how to elevate matters of the soul over the clang and bang of the modern world. Or maybe just someone who needs a laugh.

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