Chris Martine, David Burpee Professor in Plant Genetics & Research, Biology Associate Department Chair, Bucknell University, host of Plants are Cool Too, on #Plantsgiving. We'll do our annual talk on the plants which contribute to your Thanksgiving meal, how an all plant meal wouldn't bee that bad…and how popular is Plantsgiving now.   We'll ask how has this conversation spread, has social media changed botany, and if we were to rely less on meat, how will plants rise up as substitute (so to speak)? We'll talk about our footprint, our ‘plantprint' on the world…how plants impact us, what's coming up on

Welcome to Chapter 91 of 3 Books!   How are you holding up in 2021? It has been a wild 20 months.   You've been telling me you are thankful for the show and I have been telling you I'm thankful for you. I appreciate your notes, your phone calls, your letters, and your reviews and we travel and meet across space and time — meeting up whenever the moon above is is completely full or completely empty.   Today I am so thrilled to share with you the enigmatic, witty, multi-hyphenate Nora McInerny.   In 2014 Nora went through a deeply traumatic six weeks. She had a miscarriage, lost her father, and lost her husband Aaron with whom she had a young son. She spent the next year of her life couch surfing, staying with friends, trying to process the loss, the grief and the trauma. And what has emerged is somebody who I feel is at the world's leading edge of discussing things like grief, trauma, loss, widowhood, and how we navigate forward with those all bottled up inside us.   Nora is the successful author of It's OK to Laugh, Crying is Cool Too, No Happy Endings, The Hot Young Widow's Club, and the movie novelization of Bad Moms. (Shoutout to Chapter 82 with Quentin Tarantino!).   Nora gave a wonderful TED Talk called “We don't move on from grief; we move forward with it” which, at the time of me writing this, has 5,798,513 views.   But all that stuff — the books! the talks! — are probably not as well known as her spectacular, award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking (TTFA).   If you don't already, check it out — subscribe, listen, and love. I was lucky enough to be a guest a year and a half ago and Nora gave me permission to share the audio in a 3 Books Bookmark this past March.   Nora McInerny is coming to us from her closet in Arizona, where she is now resettled into a new relationship, co-parenting her child with her new husband's children.   Get cozy in between us and let's the three of us hang out and talk about: intentional parenting, grief processing, shininess vs work, sliding scales of empathy, dating after divorce, navigating our deepest needs, and, of course, the one and only Nora McInerny's 3 most formative books.   Let's flip the page into Chapter 91 now…   What You'll Learn What is emotional coziness? How do we navigate self-consciousness? What makes children's books so unique? How can we better understand our values? How can we process our grief? What is the difference between processing versus coping with grief? What is the difference between grief and depression? How soon should you start dating after becoming a widower? Why is the grief of divorce or breakups underestimated? Why is it so important to convey the humanity of experiences vs the absurdity? How do you turn the mundane into the interesting? How can we curb digital self harm? What is the value of effort? What is digital enlightenment? Why is categorization counterproductive?   You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: https://www.3books.co/chapters/91    Leave us a voicemail.

In the span of a few weeks, Nora McInerny experienced three unimaginable losses: a miscarriage, the death of her father and the death of her husband. Yet in the wake of loss, Nora, host of the popular podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking and author of bestselling books No Happy Endings and The Young Hot Widows Club reminds us that we get to assemble something new from what is left behind. Today, Nora shares about the painful experiences we inevitably face, how to cope with the emotional aftermath and the important balance between finding happiness and holding space for the unhappy experiences that have shaped us. In a year riddled with painful losses, political divisiveness, social isolation, and so much more... This conversation is a reminder that life will have incomprehensible tragedy... And yet, the foundation is firm and the best of our days remain ahead.  SHOW NOTES: Fall 2014: October 3: Nora loses her pregnancy. October 8: Nora's father loses his battle with cancer. November 25: Aaron loses his battle with brain cancer. While Nora wishes she had more video of Aaron, she's thankful they wrote his obituary + planned his funeral together. Read Aaron's viral obituary here.

Showing up for others: Do what you can do + what you will do competently, consistently and humbly.  Nora on hearing others share memories of Aaron: "The most beautiful part is realizing how many part of your person live within others." “Even if you’re surrounded by people you love, figuring out grief is a solo project.” “Ernest Hemingway wrote “the world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are stronger in the broken places.”  Listen to Nora McInerny's Terrible, Thanks for Asking here.

I recently got a chance to sit down with my shero Nora McInerny. She's been through some shitty situations... but she's used her trauma to launch some amazing thing. A hugely insane podcast: TERRIBLE Thanks for Asking, a book: It's Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too), and a non-profit: Still Kickin. When Nora asked me to be the opening speaker at her Still Kickin In Real Life retreat I didn't hesitate to say yes. So we sat down and discussed the shitty things that have happened to me. Now I love being the interviewer, but if I'm gonna be interviewed... there's no one I'd rather be interviewed by than Nora McInerny ( okay, and Oprah, but I'm sure Nora would be cool with that)

Creator and host of the "Terrible Thanks for Asking Podcast; Nora McInery is all about getting real (obviously) Widow, Blended Mother, Author, Entrepreneur and all-around amazing person Nora McInery and I get deep and connect with a genuine conversation on her story and how grief shows up in all of our lives.  Her bestselling book, "It's Okay to Laugh, Crying is Cool Too" is a memoir of her marriage to husband Aaron who tragically died of brain cancer. This occurred soon after loosing her father amidst many other huge life events.  Now Nora has found comfort in speaking and writing about grief. Having survived her husband's death the circumstances surround it; unafraid of it though experiencing it fully, she dove in to what grief is and how it presents in our lives.  Unlike everyone around us, Nora emphasizes how important it is to answer the question "How are you" with anything but the nonchalant (and almost roboticly inhuman response) "fine" - in order to begin uncovering your true self. Nora's story and our conversation are an amazing example of a true emotional warrior who conquers her own emotion and leads the charge for you own well-being.

Get to know Nora McInerny Purmort, author of “It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying is Cool Too), a memoir written after Nora’s husband, Aaron, died from brain cancer.  Nora, Erin, & Rita talk about Nora’s experiences writing the book, navigating social media – from hate follows to finding support through people you’d have never found otherwise, and Nora’s perspective on “things” – the reminders and memories she has of Aaron, why they matter, and, also, why they don’t.    Instead of a sponsor for today’s episode, we’re sponsoring Nora’s organization, Still Kicking.
