Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author Susan Verde.Many of us have an inner critic, a voice that tells us we’re not good enough—as a friend, a child, a parent—and it can be a battle of wills and perseverance to tame that internal chatter. NY Times bestselling author and mindfulness expert, Susan Verde, has wrestled with this struggle for decades. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices became her way of challenging and quieting her internal faultfinder as she experienced loss, divorce, and parenthood. Now she shares a collection of original essays that emphasize the power of positive self-talk. With humor, heart, and disarming vulnerability, she reveals her missteps and her greatest moments of joy. She writes books for readers of all ages, including the #1 NY Times bestselling I AM series, and teaches kids yoga and social-emotional awareness.Kathryn also interviews Author Colin Campbell.When Colin Campbell’s two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, he was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. He found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss—including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that “there are no words”—to be unhelpful. Drawing on what he learned from his own journey, Campbell offers an alternative path for processing pain that is active and vocal and truly honors loved ones lost. Full of practical advice on how to survive in the aftermath of loss, he shows readers how to actively reach out to their community, perform mourning rituals, and find ways to express their grief, so they can live more fully while also holding their loved ones close. He is a writer and director for theater and film. The short film he wrote and directed with his beautiful and talented wife, Seraglio, was nominated for an Academy Award.
