Summary

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack! - Five years ago, on Mother’s Day, Katie was sitting in prison, far from her kids. She couldn’t hug them, she couldn’t kiss them. It was at that moment she decided she would completely change her life so she could be with them again. But changing her life required a lot of help that didn’t exist in prison. Then one day, she opened a book in the prison library and a brochure fell out. It was for a place called Benevolence Farm, and they could help her change her life. If you want to help Benevolence Farm continue helping formerly incarcerated women in North Carolina, you can shop the Farm’s products here or make a donation to their programs here. — The episode transcript can be found here. — We’re lucky to only work with sponsors and brands we know and love.

0:00.0	I have a podcast suggestion for you. It's called a slight change of plans. It is hosted
0:07.0	by my friend, the behavioral scientist Maya Shankar, who's named the best show of the
0:12.1	year by Apple in 2021, and it features the personal stories of people whose lives have
0:17.6	been upended by a big change. Surviving disaster, heartbreak, loss, and more. And also,
0:25.8	conversations with scientists about how even small changes can make a big difference in
0:30.0	our brains and our lives. I have also been on it. My episode was called When Surviving
0:36.2	Is Enough. We also dropped it in this feed so you might have heard this show and I bet
0:40.8	you already like it. There are new season features, conversations about the science of
0:45.0	things like meditation and self-compassion and stories about navigating grief, living
0:50.2	on borrow time after terminal diagnosis and learning to argue better. You can find a slight
0:56.4	change of plans wherever you get podcasts.
1:01.2	Do you want to stop feeling guilty that life hasn't turned out like you thought it should?
1:06.4	My name is Kate Boller and when I was 35, my life came apart unexpectedly. I was diagnosed
1:13.3	with stage 4 cancer. I was a new mom, a professor, and imagined I had finally gotten the
1:19.5	life I wanted. Since then, I've heard from thousands of people who want a better language
1:26.6	and a spiritual community when we need each other most. Listen to everything happens wherever
1:34.2	you get your podcasts. How are you?
1:41.0	Most people answer that question with fine or good. But obviously it's not always fine
1:48.7	and it's usually not even that good. This is a podcast that asks people to be honest
1:55.6	about their pain. To just be honest about how they really feel about the hard parts of
2:03.4	life. And guess what? It's complicated.
2:14.5	No matter your relationship to motherhood, there is one universal truth. Motherhood is
