WhereAreJoAndTheCurls - podcast now streaming
Jo is one of the youngest hosts to interview me, and we explored topics that no one else has asked about - not just what happened in my book, but what lessons I learned about love and relationships that she can apply in her own life.
As Jo wrote in the show notes: “This episode is for anyone that has loved deeply, lost painfully, and is finding- or has found the light again. May you be reminded that the work you put in is just as important as waiting for time to heal you.“ I came away convinced that she is wise beyond her years.

The Unexpected Detour - podcast now streaming
Frances Hammond’s podcast is more informal than any of the others I’ve recorded. She sat in a chair in her home office and we had a conversation just as if we had met at a party and moved into a corner to talk. Then she posted the interview only three hours after we recorded it! Frances is a breast cancer survivor, that’s the inspiration for her podcast, so we mostly talked about the caregiving aspects of Carrying the Tiger, which was a change from the frequent discussions of grief and loss. You can listen on Spotify or Apple, or watch on YouTube.
