This week, I'm kicking off Season 8 with Glennon Doyle! Glennon is a New York Times Bestselling author, an activist and thought leader, and is the founder and president of Together Rising, an all-women led nonprofit organization that has revolutionized grassroots philanthropy – raising over $25 Million for women, families, and children in crisis. In this conversation, we talk about Glennon's new book Untamed (it's ESSENTIAL READING y'all!), and cover the following: doubt, faith, what's required before you can really take care of yourself, how to consider what the most true and beautiful version of your life is, why permission to change your own mind is critical, and how you can find your own "there she is" moment. What Glennon Said: "May our dreams become our plans." "Faith is a belief in the unseen order of things." "It's impossible to take care of yourself and your family if you don't first untame." "There is no construction of the new without destruction of the old." "The goal of family is to create a community where everybody gets to bring their full self to the table." "Truth is kindness even if it makes people uncomfortable." Listen to Learn: 08:09 - Living the truest most beautiful life (and how this is available to everyone) 14:38 - Believing in the unseen order of things and how to hold onto that faith when things feel rocky 18:29 - How Glennon deals with doubt (yes!

Do you need rest or to work harder? Should you focus on your end goal or stay present to what you need right now? Is what you're doing too much or not enough? This week, I'm diving into how learning to live within contradictions instead of either/or thinking can help us both more forward towards our goals and feel better within our days. What I said: "Step into the breadth of everything that is in the IN-BETWEEN instead of thinking about things as EITHER-OR." "The point of having goals is to help you decide your very first step of action, not put you on a forever-path." "Building relationships with people does not mean that you have to sacrifice who you are." "Maybe it's the all-or-nothing thinking and not your failing as a human that's keeping you stuck."

This week, I'm releasing the audio of my recent How to Have the Life You Want training (click here to get the video replay and catch the slides!). You're just 10 quick and easy steps away from the life you want!! That's how this works, right? Instead of promising formulas and rules, in this training, I cover 10 different guidelines, perspectives, and tips to help you figure out your own next steps towards the life you want, not the one the rest of the world thinks you should have. Freedom. Connection. Ease. Faith. Grace. I want all of those for you every single day. Let's get going. Things I Said: "The small things count just as much as the big things." "You've got to be willing and able to let yourself be human. You're not a ROBOT." "It is not your life's purpose to deny your humanity in honor of your ambition." "We don't have to overperform our way through our days to have the lives that we want." "Grace is that ability to get it wrong, learn, and keep going." Those Timestamps: 05:14 - Overview of How to Have The Life You Want 08:45 - A little bit about me... (life & mission) 12:42 - The BIG/SMALL things I've done to live the life I want 23:50 - Why it's critical to live under an umbrella of grace 25:55 - #1: Forgive yourself for being human 28:56 - #2: The What and Why of H.A.L.T. 30:40 - #3: Be a farmer...and how to trust the seeds you plant 34:41 - #4: You are not lazy 36:55 - #5: Commit to the relentless pursuit of figuring out what you want 41:30 - #6: Practice questioning everything 44:12 - #7: Let it be YOUR life 47:48 - #8: Accept the annoying and inconvenient parts 50:23 - #9: Expect backsliding 54:00 - #10: Faith.

This week, I'm answering a listener question (hi Susan!) about how to embody and live into one's values, but I'm also taking this question deeper to talk about how to get started in bridging the divide between where you are now and where you want to be, even if (and especially when!) that divide feels overwhelming and insurmountable! I also share how you might be treating those seeds you're planting so unfairly and what to do instead as well as give some personal-for-your-agency-archetype advice for each type. (I feel like I took myself to church on this one; thank you for your question, Susan! It inspired so much!) What I said: "When it comes to embodying values, our job is to stay really fluid, nimble, and open." "If we keep taking steps, those steps might take us somewhere surprising." "If you are not embodying your own values, you're embodying somebody else's." "Commit to using your values as your compass even if everyone else seems to be loving some totally-jacked-but-socially-acceptable-enough compass to guide their lives." "The answer to getting to where you want to be is not to stay where you don't want to be." Those Timestamps: 06:11 - How to get started with a values list 08:16 - Commit to imperfect and uncomfortable action 12:47 - How small steps can be a game-changer for you 18:17 - Values as a compass 24:20 - Crossing the divide between where you are and where you want to be AND how to approach this considering your Agency Archetype 30:08 - Destruction as an unbuilding Show Notes:
