Description

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. Thank you so much for listening and supporting our sponsors, which in turn allows us to share incredible stories and support really good people.

We value experiences over things. We believe in buying better and buying less. But we also love finding and buying (beautiful, well-made) things. In Why Do We Have Things?, Rita Mehta of The American Edit and Erin Husted of Hackwith Design House talk to designers, artists and small business owners about things - why they make them, how they buy them, and the positive and negative impacts they can have on our lives.
