How It Is

Unexpected Encounters, with Sarah McKemie, Suleika Jaouad, and Megan Phelps-Roper

Listen Later

Sometimes the thing we didn’t see coming leaves us reeling, in the best possible way. Roller derby star Sarah McKemie shares her story of being an uncertain college student when a gang of roller derby girls skated into her life; Suleika Jaouad remembers a solo road trip she took after finishing cancer treatment, in which her most unexpected encounter was with herself; and former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper reveals how she met her husband and best friends after they sent her hate mail.

Hosted by Kelly McCreary. Brought to you by Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine. We want to hear YOUR story. Find us @hellosunshine on Instagram and Twitter and hello-sunshine.com. #HowItIs
