This episode is sponsored by Better Help. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which feels like a good

reminder that life isn't something we're meant to figure out all on our own. And if you've been feeling

overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure lately, that's more normal than we tend to admit. As for me,

I am a classic overthinker, like lying in bed, replaying conversations,

or stressing about things that haven't happened yet, convincing myself that bad things are afoot.

That's where therapy can make a difference. Better help connect you with licensed therapists who follow a

strict code of conduct, and they match you based on your

specific needs and preferences. With over 30,000 therapists and more than 6 million people served globally

and an average 4.9 out of 5 rating from over 1.7 million reviews, it's a trusted, convenient way to get support. You don't have to be on

this journey alone. Find support and have someone with you in therapy. Sign up and get 10%

Hi, everyone. Welcome to thanks for being here, a short weekly pod to remind us of the many

essential and beautiful ways we affect one another.

Every Sunday, I'll read a submission from a listener, Kelly Corrigan Wonders.

Could be wedding vows or a bat mitzvah toast, a eulogy, or retirement speech.

We believe this is probably the loveliest way to tap into our better selves and remember our highest values.

We encourage you to share this podcast each week with one person you love.

Maybe someone you miss and need to bring

closer, someone you want to feel your appreciation or admiration or both. This is thanks for being here is my eulogy for my mom.

Okay, here we go.

Here's what you'd learn, walking around the first floor of my mother's house.

She loved games, backgammon, RemyCube, Dominoes.
