The Ultimate Balancing Act

You probably recognize Mary Louise Kelly by her voice—she’s co-host of the NPR news show “All Things Considered,” and has spent decades as a national security correspondent. She is also the mother of two sons, and has been candid about her struggles juggling the often-competing roles of parent and journalist. Kelly tried all sorts of job configurations while her kids were growing up, trying to make family events and soccer games while also traveling the world on assignment in war zones. In her latest book, It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs, she shares what she’s learned in this balancing act and chronicles her eldest son’s last year at home before college. Kelly talks with podcast and TV host Kelly Corrigan, host of PBS’ “Tell Me More with Kelly Corrigan,” about the constant challenge of trying to be there for your family and your job at the same time.
