Death, Sex and Recovery: A Conversation with Anna Sale

Death, Sex and Money is where I go for a jolt of connection to something bigger than myself. Anna Sale hosts that show and is also the author of the book Let’s Talk About Hard Things. On this episode, we talk about the moment Anna realized she didn’t understand death nearly as much as she thought she did. We also get into the origins of Death, Sex and Money and the role that Anna’s visit to recovery rooms in Brooklyn played in her formulation of the show. Plus, how to find the perfect song for when your dad is dying and why we both love Jeff Hiller. 00:00:00 The Pursuit of Intense Human Connection & Anna Sale 00:03:58 AJ Inspired by Jeff Hiller’s Emmy Win 00:07:54 Transitioning from Reporter to Host of Death, Sex and Money 00:11:43 The Deep Need to Belong in Small Spaces 00:15:35 Finding Secret Church In Brooklyn Basements 00:19:16 Theory on Mortality and the Biological Clock 00:23:13 Surviving Childbirth and The Dashlane Password 00:27:17 Cinematic Moments and Songs for Final Goodbyes 00:31:19 Vulnerability on Stage vs Behind the Mic 00:35:15 The Art and Power of the Pause in Conversation 00:39:08 Navigating The High Stakes of Modern Parenthood 00:43:03 Relational Wisdom and the Path to Re-parenting #AnnaSale #DeathSexAndMoney #TheSmallBow #RecoveryJourney #ParentingTruths #InterviewingTips #MentalHealthAwareness #SobrietyStories #HumanConnection #FacingMortality Topics: The art of hard conversations The pursuit of connection Jeff Hiller's Emmy win The secret church in recovery The near-death childbirth story Facing mortality in your 30s The stakes of modern parenting Healing via reparenting New episodes release every Wednesday. ➡️ Subscribe to The Small Bow Podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSmallBow?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Join The Small Bow Community: https://www.thesmallbow.com/ ➡️ Get the latest on The Small Bow: https://linktr.ee/THESMALLBOW ➡️ Download The Small Bow Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-small-bow-podcast/id1576208098
