Episode notes

Glenn: You could do this interview 50 different ways because the book has so many love stories in it. There's a moment, and unfortunately, we're almost out of time, but I do want you to talk about thisBecause it made me think about the beginning of the story of your love story. When you begged Peter to write letters to Lael. And he couldn't do it. Is there something about being the arrogant entitled white man? Right. But are you because of that sort of pampering, not able to do the grittiest, most important things, which is real true love?, she asks.

1. Hard-won, joyful, practical wisdom from Bozoma’s exuberant life, and her lessons on how to overcome after enduring excruciating loss.

2. How big love and life can be when we are brave enough to be fierce and tender.

3. The rarely talked-about confusion and fear that often come with pregnancy.

4. Why love isn’t enough — and we all deserve a community surrounding our love.

5. Why Boz gave her husband a book report assignment before she’d go out with him, and the heart wrenching truth that you can carry anger toward a loved one even after death.
