Mary Louise Kelly, co-host of NPR's All Things Considered, discusses her new memoir "It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs," which explores the balance between work and motherhood, intention and memory. The book reflects on the finite nature of time with family and the difficult choices that come with balancing a successful career and raising children. Kelly shares personal anecdotes, including missing her son's soccer games due to work obligations, and ultimately deciding not to return to Ukraine for a reporting assignment in order to be present for her son's last weeks of high school.
