Kelly Corrigan Wonders

Bestselling author and stage 4 cancer patient Kate Bowler (Duke Divinity professor and host of Everything Happens podcast) asks as many questions as she answers. Where did we get our ideas about what’s fair, what can be manifested, what we’re owed? When it comes to cultural messages of self help, what’s true and what’s a bunch of profitable nonsense? After Kelly sat down with Kate on the set of her PBS show Tell Me More, she met up with bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks, a happiness researcher who writes for The Atlantic and teaches at Harvard.

Robin Roberts, who has been saying Good Morning America for decades now, has a few hard-earned lessons to share. She was in isolation for 174 days after a bone marrow transplant to save her life. She reported from Katrina only after searching the coast for her own family. She broke every barrier in journalism on her own terms. She personifies grit, which is why we had to bring Angela Duckworth into the conversation, to break down just how we all might nurture and sustain Robin’s perseverance and optimism. To watch this interview, go to PBS.org/kelly. Robin’s new book, Brighter by the Day, is available now.

The week after I graduated from college I jumped on a boat in Malta and served as the cook for six weeks. I’m still thinking about a few things I learned on the water. Then, not a month ago, I talked a woman next to me on a plane ride who told me something about the north stars that are set for us by our parents and those we set for ourselves that was worth repeating, exploring and sharing here.

Jen remembers her friend and “guardian angel” Hallie. The two women met on a week-long rock-climbing adventure for cancer survivors and quickly bonded. Jokingly nicknamed “Fancypants” by her new rock-climbing friends due to the enormous suitcase of clothes she packed for the trip, Hallie was incredibly warm and full of energy - a woman who sparkled and shined brightly. She had a gift for taking in the present moment, she loved and appreciated her family and friends and she reminded all around her to “Be Here Now”.
