Episode description as stored

When someone you love is going through a difficult time, what do you say? Despite your best intentions, author Katherine May argues offering help or shying away from tough conversations isn’t as effective as you think. Katherine is the author of the memoir, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times , and its latest companion piece, Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age . Chris and Katherine share how humor may sometimes be a good medicine and how to live alongside life’s difficulties.
