I am a man that has toured the world (on a much smaller scale). God Bless this episode. Thanks Lily. I am grateful for this. ❤️
Dear Parents & Guardians
This is the most important podcast I’ve ever heard. I was not prepared when my child experienced trauma nor the subsequent mental health crisis. I would have been had this podcast existed at that time. The knowledge dropped in the episode with Lily’s mom alone took years of therapy and blind stumbling for me to even begin to grasp.
Then Lily got Ann Wilson to basically tell my whole life and I was even more stunned.
Lily Cornell Silver is starting long-overdue conversations to which she brings a unique and extraordinary ability to speak across generations. She is wise, well-researched, and compelling in her interviews. Just - so very well done.
Great show…
I just came upon this podcast, and started with the Duff McKagan episode. Very enjoyable and insightful conversation. I’ll definitely be listening to more…well done Lily, and thanks!
