Summary
Kelly finds herself between two Annas -- Anna Quindlen, the Pulitzer Prize winning writer, and Anna Sale, the host of WNYC's popular Death, Sex & Money podcast. Together, they read excerpts from their books and riff on how terribly easy it is to misunderstand each other in family life. From thinking you’re not "a divorce kinda person" to overestimating our influence as parents, love is rife with misunderstandings. Here’s a conversation that will help you find your way out of what tangle you might be in at the moment. If this episode was useful to you, you’ll probably really like Kelly's conversation with Wanda Holland Greene on Finding Agency.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Kelly Corrigan. Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. Today begins a |
| 0:05.1 | super special five-part series looking at family life with two women, a |
| 0:10.2 | door and respect. One is my very first writer friend, Anna Quinlan, the |
| 0:15.3 | perceptive and frank Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 21 books, and my |
| 0:20.7 | podcasting idol Anna Sale, who is host of the award-winning death sex and money. |
| 0:26.3 | Anna Quinlan, who's actually never done a podcast, is the mother of three kids in |
| 0:30.8 | their 30s, several of whom have children of their own. Anna Sale, who has done |
| 0:35.5 | maybe 2000 podcasts, is way back at the beginning of parenthood. She has a two-year-old |
| 0:40.1 | and another headed to kindergarten this fall. My girls are 17 and 19. Thanks |
| 0:45.8 | for joining us, Kelly Corrigan Wonders is a place for people who believe that |
| 0:49.1 | knowing more and feeling more can help us do more and be better. We'll be right |
| 0:53.6 | back to unpack parenthood with Anna Quinlan and Anna Sale. |
| 1:10.4 | Hey, I'm Kelly Corrigan. Welcome back to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. This is the first |
| 1:15.2 | in a series of conversations with podcaster Anna Sale and writer Anna Quinlan |
| 1:20.3 | about family life. The flow of each conversation is simple. We pick a prompt, say |
| 1:27.2 | forgiveness, or change. Then we each bring a reading to share and discuss. So to |
| 1:33.7 | kick things off, we thought we'd start with the very roomy idea of misunderstandings, |
| 1:39.3 | which on a good day I can recognize as the origin point of all growth. Anna |
| 1:46.0 | Quinlan, as the most knowing among us, kicked things off with a reading that brought |
| 1:52.0 | me to my knees. So this is a piece that seems to go around every year on |
| 1:57.5 | Mother's Day and people seem to think it's fresh, when in fact it's not. It makes my |
| 2:04.6 | kids younger than they are now, which is in their 30s. |
