What the EF

Caretaking is sometimes letting go with Mary Laura Philpott


Listen Later

Bestselling author Mary Laura Philpott walks us through the moment that her and her family’s life was changed forever: her teenage son’s first seizure. She shares how she came to differentiate her experience as a mother and her son’s experience as the person living with epilepsy. 

Mary Laura also brings to light the excruciating battle of having to let her child “spread his wings.” Like so many parents who want to wrap their children in bubble wrap, Mary Laura understands the importance of letting hers experience life.
