Tremendously wonderful, honest, real, funny pod from Kate Bowler. Everything happens, and she looks it square in the eye, doesn't look away, and helps sit with and laugh with others who are doing the same. and the blessings at the end -- ❤️

Have enjoyed the Everything Happens podcast since its beginning. Just finished the episode with Thomas Lynch. What a phenomenal guest and interview!

Description

Are you living your best life now? Not always? This is a podcast for you. Duke Professor Kate Bowler is an expert in the stories we tell about success and failure, suffering and happiness. She had Stage IV cancer. Then she didn’t. And since then, all she wants to do is talk to funny and wise people about how to live with the knowledge that, well, everything happens.  Find her online at @katecbowler.
