ELISSA STRAUSS X KATIE NEHRA - EPISODE 10

Elissa Strauss is a journalist who writes about caregiving as well as the politics and culture of parenthood—not parenting! She wants you to know she has no idea how you should be raising your children. For that matter, neither do I… Needless to say, don’t listen to this podcast if you’re looking for parenting advice, but if you want to learn how to care better, this is the episode for you. While I seem to care too much sometimes—I’m constantly having to tell myself not to care what others think—in our enlightening conversation, Elissa teaches me about a much healthier and necessary type of caring: caring for others. It’s the topic of her first book, so she’s an expert, and given the year we’ve all had, learning how to check in on and be there for others, seems to me to be even more important than it has ever been before.
