0:00.0	Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. I'm Kelly Corrigan and today I'm wondering how it is
0:12.4	that so many truly awful and delightful things can coexist at the same time in the same
0:19.5	life. My guest is New York Times bestselling author, host of everything happens podcast,
0:25.5	Duke Divinity Professor and dear friend Kate Boehler. Kate and I decided to look at our lives
0:32.0	together and dissect the things that wore us down and the things that blew life back into us.
0:38.0	We picked four areas, our personal lives, our inner circle, our nine to five lives and then

1:46.5	Here is my conversation with podcaster Divinity Professor Stage 4 Cancer Patient and friend.
1:52.4	Kate Boehler. Kate Boehler, for the crappy files, what is your personal low?
2:04.8	Oh, I'm coming in hot. I mean, I'm coming in fresh. I just drove here to the studio from
2:13.4	the hospital where I am absolutely unable to manage my chronic pain. And it turns out so are they.
2:23.2	So I have an outfit that I wear on my hospital days where I audition for the part of somebody
2:30.1	whose pain will be taken seriously. It's always like soft pants and some kind of collegiate sweatshirt
