Life Above the Noise with Maria Sunday Paper PLUS Exclusives

Brand-new conversations are coming in September to our award-winning, Sunday Paper PLUS series “Life Above the Noise with Maria,” featuring three extraordinary women with three formidable Open Field books! We couldn’t wait to share exclusive first looks with you—tune in with us below to preview:

✨ Emma Heming Willis sits down with Maria to unpack the deeply personal and supportive manual she wrote for caregivers, The Unexpected Journey, something she wishes she had on the day of her husband Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis.

✨ Clea Shearer and Maria dive into Cancer Is Complicated, Clea’s comforting, empowering, and practical guide from a breast cancer survivor, to anyone living with cancer or loving someone with cancer.

✨ Diane Button talks to Sunday Paper Editor Meghan Rabbitt about her heartwarming book, What Matters Most: Lessons the Dying Teach Us About Living, where she reveals the profound wisdom she’s gained as an end-of-life doula.
