Out of the Ordinary

11. When Life Feels Like a Series of Interruptions


Listen Later

These are the stories of a sick child and the birth of a book.

"How do you do it all?" we're often asked. The short answer? We don't. The longer answer? Well, those are the stories we're telling today. Because life often feels like a series of interruptions stitched together.

But interruptions can be invitations. Invitations to rest, invitations to care, invitations to pay attention. Interruptions can also be serious, heavy disruptions. What then?

Lisa-Jo and Christie talk about the days when nothing goes as planned. Interruptions are always inconvenient, they are sometimes devastating, but they can also be good gifts in disguise.

Does your life feel like a series of interruptions? We welcome your story. Come say hello on Instagram: @lisajobaker and @christiepurifoy. Or use our hashtag #outoftheordinarypodcast
