Writer Mary Laura Philpott had all the regular kind of parental worries until her teenage son had his first seizure. She had to learn to balance her fear alongside her love all the while recognizing that everyone has something they are dealing with.
In this episode, Kate and Mary Laura discuss:
Why love sometimes makes us afraid for all we have to lose
Why remembering that “everyone has something” can make us feel less alone (and more likely to bring snacks)
Why worry isn’t the mental work we think it is
