Does hope win when someone you care about takes their own life? How do you begin to process and how do you move forward?
In this episode of Hope Still Wins in the Unexpected, Ben sits down with writer and editor Laurie Woolever best known for her time as an assistant to the late TV host, author, and producer Anthony Bourdain. They discuss the complexities of Anthony’s life, how to help loved ones with an addictive personality, and what they believe is the best thing we can begin to do if someone we know is struggling.
Laurie lets us in on her latest projects— Appetites: A Cookbook co-written with Anthony, World Travel: An Irreverent Guide, and Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography— what to expect next in her career and what she hopes Anthony will be forever remembered for.
