ioktlcictStrong women piss the internet off.

So excited to share this week’s episode, featuring the one and only Nora McInerny Purmort (a.k.a. @NoraBorealis), founder of the non-profit Still Kickin, author of the new book It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too), mother to precocious pooper Ralph, and all around amazing human. We talk tragedy porn and how it lets us try on the grief that ultimately awaits us all, traveling with a three-year-old, the thrill of making something as real as an honest-to-God BOOK, the joys of therapy, and how public speaking is awesome–once it’s over. Stick a dog in your shirt and some earbuds in your head, friend. We’re dishing up a lot of realness here. xoxo
