Show Notes

New York Times Bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt joins us to discuss her bestseller Remarkably Bright Creatures! We dove deep into the aquarium of life with this fantastic story. We saw truths about one another from the unusual perspective of a remarkably bright – or perhaps remarkably observant – octopus. We discuss his observations about how humans hide, grieve, lash out, or fail to communicate (and all of these thoughts are all filtered through his view that he’s unjustifiably incarcerated!). We talk about loneliness, aging, independence, and trauma. What happens when the events of one date in our history shapes every aspect of our future? How do we move forward after loss? Are geographical changes helpful for a fresh start, or are we simply running away? We explored common feelings of unworthiness, and the negative choices that sometimes follow. And what about our unique qualities as humans? So many life truths! Dive in!
