EP69: LIVE Audience Podcast with Author Laura Carney

Have you ever lost someone who you wish you could have one more conversation with? 

To ask them for advice, their opinions, and possibly what they wish they could have completed in their life before passing?

My next guest suddenly and tragically lost her father at the hands of a distracted driver when she was in her early 20s. Years after his passing on the cusp of questioning her own life's purpose she opportunity to ‘live out her father’s dreams, and in turn it set herself free,’ as she recounts in her new memoir: My Father’s List. 

Previous guest of the Why We Tri Podcast, author, magazine journalist, copy editor, activist, and plant-based athlete, Laura Carney reached out months before the publishing of her memoir My Father’s List and informed me Miami would be a stop on her book tour in July of 2023.  

I said ‘YES’ immediately to her gracious request to have me moderate her book signing stop at my favorite Book Store in Coral Gables: Books & Books.

In today’s episode, you will hear our LIVE audience podcast episode from July 2023. It was an absolute pleasure to host Laura Carney and her husband, Steven Seighman in my beloved adopted home of Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.
