This episode is part two of Em's conversation with Laura Carney as they discuss her book 'My Father's List' and the journey of completing her late father's bucket list.
In this second half of Em's chat with Laura, she reflects on the irony of the bucket list being both a result of her father's story and a catalyst for completing the items on the list.
Laura believes that her father's list was always meant for her and that it unconsciously influenced her upbringing. She shares her experience of writing the book and the challenges she faced, including self-doubt and judgment from others.
Laura also discusses the impact of her book on readers and the importance of accepting the hard parts of life.
