Permission to be honest, feat. Kate Bowler (Type 2)

Published: March 9, 2023, 1:37 p.m.

When Kate Bowler was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, she was forced to grapple with the cultural scripts that box us into a tidy story about how we \u201cearn our lives and get what we deserve,\u201d and that \u201canything is possible.\u201d But what if those scripts aren\u2019t true?\xa0

She joins me for an open conversation about her chronic sadness, suffering, and pain, and invites us to be honest about the lives that can\u2019t be fixed. She reminds us that \u201cwe are people to be loved, not problems to be solved.\u201d\xa0\xa0

Kate Bowler is the New York Times bestselling author of\xa0Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I\u2019ve Loved), No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need to Hear), and Good Enough. She is the host of the popular podcast, Everything Happens. A Duke University professor, she earned a master\u2019s degree in religion from Yale Divinity School and a Ph.D. from Duke University.\xa0
