Summary
Busy Philipps opens up about how James Van Der Beek’s passing has deeply affected her, leaving her unsure if she’ll ever rewatch Dawson’s Creek again. His February death at 48 after a colon cancer battle prompted her to reflect on life’s fragility and the importance of cherishing every day. The cast’s heartfelt reunion in NYC—held in his honor and to support cancer research—was a magical tribute, with his family present to feel the love from afar. Philipps also shares her own health journey, using Qelbree to manage symptoms, and urges women in their late 30s and early 40s to prioritize conversations about perimenopause and menopause as vital parts of overall wellness.
