This week the girls welcome Rob Henderson, author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class. Born to a drug-addicted, homeless mother in California, Rob was passed around 7 foster homes and grew to become a rowdy teenager. He turned his life around when he joined the Air Force after high school, and ultimately was accepted into Yale for his BA and earned his PhD in Psychology from the University of Cambridge. We cover class in America, luxury beliefs of the elite, how to build resilience, Rob's first ever encounter with a Jewish person as well as his first ever encounter with ice cream (both left a lasting impression).
