"We never had certainty we just thought we did. We convinced ourselves we could absolutely be sure. Now we know the truth and the next step is to find peace in that uncertainty and maybe even be happy about it, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves." Marla Taviano in her new book “Whole” (with a nod to words by Rilke)

Our episode this week is with Marla Taviano, the author of several books, some of our favorites being her trilogy of poetry called Unbelieve, Jaded, and Whole. Marla is into: books, love, justice, globes, anti-racism, blue, gray, rainbows, poems (and a hundred other things). She reads and writes for a living (and a life). She's a single mom to four freaking awesome grownish kids. And we especially love this: Marla is on a mission/ quest/ journey to live wholeFARTED (not a typo).

Some of the topics we explore are these:

Being able to “find peace in the uncertainty” and “have patience with everything unresolved in your heart.”
What makes her "FART?" (and find out what might make you FART as well.)
The normal deconstruction process of unbelieving, becoming jaded and then moving toward wholeness.
Poetry as an instrument of healing both for us and our kids.
Navigating the ebb and flow while trying to parent and deconstruct at the same time.

Our favorite words from this podcast episode were breathe, jaded, free, FART, certainty, unbelieve, embrace, whole. Find out why when you listen.
