How do the values we inherited clash or complement the cultures we come of age in? How can we stay the right size in the world and in our own minds?

Kelly Corrigan Wonders ·

2023/05/23

Steve Kerr and W. Kamau Bell on Speaking Up

Kelly Corrigan Wonders ·

2023/05/16

People say “Stay in your lane” but I don’t buy it. I like people who care about a lot of things, not just winning another NBA championship (I see you Steve Kerr, eyeing #9) or making another world class docu-series (I see you W Kamau Bell, with your devastating Cosby series). I like people who dare to say unpopular things into microphones because they have a platform and they feel compelled to use it. This is an episode with two of my favorite people — Warriors coach Steve Kerr and

Thanks For Being Here "Motherhood Illustrated"

Kelly Corrigan Wonders ·

2023/05/14

At this time of year, we are knee-deep in sports: college lacrosse, the NBA play-offs and all the golf majors. Where there are sports, there are adjectives describing the athletes and where there are sports championships, those adjectives are garish and piled-high. Kelly wonders if maybe it’s time to use those dazzling descriptors to honor not the elite athletes out there but the army of regular, everyday, hard-working moms.

This episode of Thanks For Being Here began with a voice message left by listener Jennifer Drohan.
