Erin opens up about mom guilt, the pressure to pretend you have it all together, and why she made a promise to herself to just be honest with people. Because as both women agree — putting that wall up all the time is exhausting.

He also discusses his new book Poems & Prayers, the power of belief in a cynical world, and why risk-taking has defined his career.
