Dr. Dan interviews mother, daughter, bestselling author, and lifelong worrier Mary Laura Philpott and the two explore answers to such provocative questions as how do we keep living when the unexpected can happen at any moment? And what does it mean to be human, to love, to lose, and to live?
Today’s episode is a powerful and poignant look at motherhood, daughterhood, personhood, and caregiving, along with life, death, and ultimately: joy and hope. Dr. Dan and Mary Laura talk about Mary Laura’s harrowing story, her book BOMB SHELTER: Love, Time, and Other Explosives, and what it means to move through life with a soul made of equal parts anxiety and optimism.
Mary Laura Philpott is also the author of the national bestseller I Miss You When I Blink. A former bookseller, Mary Laura lives in Nashville with her family. FOr more information visit her website: www.marylauraphilpott.com.
