Rebecca N. Thompson, MD joins Let’s Talk Memoir for a conversation about life-threatening pregnancy losses and weaving her own story of navigating a challenging path to parenting with the stories of others, her decade-long collaboration with a remarkable group of women, how healing others helps us heal, imperfect love, not feeling heard, advocating for our own care, humanism in medicine, the cumulative impact of small actions, accepting help to get better, transcribing and processing interviews and forming a narrative, processing as we craft, making stories accessible to a wide audience, the moments that change everything when we least expect it, and her new memoir HELD TOGETHER: A SHARED MEMOIR OF MOTHERHOOD, MEDICINE, AND IMPERFECT LOVE.

Hi Ronit, I’ve really enjoyed listening to the podcast and the lessons I’m learning about memoir.
I just registered to the UW course and I look forward to learning more from you.
I also read When She Comes Back to help me get a sense of whether I’d benefit from the course.
I’m in my “post-work” era and feel like I have a lot to say — whether it’s read or not!
I look forward to working with you over the next few months.
