In today's episode, NPR's Juana Summers asks Griner about the mental and physical toll she's still grappling with, reuniting with her wife and trying to forgive herself for what happened.

Everything Everywhere Daily - City Syndromes
Psychologists have identified hundreds of different psychological disorders and conditions.
Some of them are rather common conditions that affect large segments of the population at one time or another. Others are quite rare and only come up in certain circumstances or even in certain places.
Within that, there is a rare subset of psychological conditions that only tend to appear in certain cities, or were named after cities where first appeared.
Learn more about psychological syndromes that are named after cities on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

As a parent, how do you navigate – and feel hope – raising kids through a pandemic, a climate crisis and with police brutality in the news?
