We Can Do Hard Things

244. Stop Carrying Other People’s Pain with Chloé Cooper Jones

Listen Later

Where do you go to escape the pain of reality? Today, author Chloé Cooper Jones shares: 


  • The survival strategy many of us use to retreat from our lives and how to become more present; 
  • How she grapples with the world dehumanizing her disabled body; 
  • Why desire and disgust are so connected – and what they teach us; and 
  • The thing Chloé wants most – to be seen as inherently whole – and how to get it.
