"Being a mom of adult kids is more fun than I had ever considered," she says. "I feel like I'm like Jepedo, making him the whole time and then suddenly he came to life at 20." Her son Charlie played basketball for his alma mater Northwestern; they didn't get past the second round but did make it through the first round. She was gutted when her boys went to college: "I've never been so terrified"
Julia Louis-Dreyfus joins us to dive deep into: going to therapy with her 87-year-old mom, how to love adult kids well, the metaphor that got her through breast cancer, and why we should all be excited about getting older.
