Nora McInerny is the reluctant cofounder of the Hot Young Widows Club, the bestselling author of It’s Okay To Laugh, Crying Is Cool Too, and the host of the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking. Nora is a master storyteller known for her dedication to bringing heart and levity to the difficult and uncomfortable conversations most of us try to avoid.
In the span of a few weeks, thirty-something Nora McInerny had a miscarriage, lost her father to cancer, and lost her husband due to a brain tumor. Her life fell apart. What Nora discovered during this dark time is that, when you’re in these hard moments, it can feel impossible to feel like even a shadow of the person you once were. Amazingly enough, Nora has built a career out of her pain. Through her books, podcast and speaking engagements, Nora doesn’t just offer advice to those who have lost a spouse, but for anyone who has gone through a major life struggle.
