Delve into Anne Lamott's varied writing career, covering themes of sobriety in motherhood, Christian faith, politics, grace, and forgiveness, while being characterized as a 'lefty guru of optimism' by The New York Times. Stay tuned for an insightful conversation between Anne Lamott and Brene Brown.
Author Anne Lamott has penned novels, but is most famous for her confessional memoirs about sobriety, raising her son as a single mother (Operating Instructions), being a liberal Christian and writing (Bird By Bird). Kara and Anne talk about her 20th book, Somehow: Thoughts on Love, why she thinks love is like Wi-Fi, how she dealt with nearly being canceled over a tweet, how to practice radical self-acceptance, and finding forgiveness — even for Donald Trump.
