This is Sarah Stewart Holland.

And this is Beth Silver's.

You're listening to the Nuance Life,

a Pants-Sansu politics production. Well, everyone. We're so glad you're here today. This summer on Fridays. We are reviving the

nuanced life a podcast we used to make about the messiness of living wisely.

And today we're going to talk about when life throws your family a curveball.

Often sudden changes are associated with tragedy or loss,

but it can also happen after exciting news or happy developments

and almost every time sudden change comes with a mixture of both.

Happy moments make us sad and sad moments leave us clear-eyed

about what makes us happy.

That's the nuance, and that's what we're

going to talk about on this episode of the nuanced life. Before we get started, did you know that Sarah and I are on cameo?

If you have a fancy politics fan in your life celebrating their own momentous event,

no matter how happy or sad it may be. We will film a special

greeting, congratulations, birthday, hello, or their very own commemoration.

You just click download on the Cameo app

and search for Pantsuit Politics

and you will find us.

We love making these special shoutouts

for listeners and people in our community.

One of the things that we love about our audience
