OCEAN VUONG: WE CAN DO HARD THINGS EP 84

It’s MOTHER’S AND SON’S Day on We Can Do Hard Things.
Today is incredibly special to me. Because today, my son Chase is joining me on the podcast to speak to one of his personal heroes, the brilliant author Ocean Vuong.
Ocean, Chase, and I talk about:
How watching how his mother lived gave Ocean the courage to share the truth of his life;
How watching his mother die gave Ocean deep empathy and connection to every person;
How Ocean’s work helped mother Chase when I failed to prepare him to navigate growing up as an Asian boy in America; and
His new book, out today, Time is a Mother.
Please join us today on #WCDHT with Chase and #OceanVuong wherever you listen to podcasts.

The scene of my mother dying on the death bed, my sister's face pressing up her wax-yellow cheek, is constantly popping in my head. It is just so heartbreaking. I had trouble sleeping for months.
