895. Finding the Freedom in Disappointing Others w/ Shauna Niequist


Listen Later

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! Today, we're revisiting our conversation with NYT best-selling author Shauna Niequist, who's challenging us to finally take the reins and live the life we truly want to live. Despite experiencing success in multiple areas, Shauna realized that her inability to be fully present with the people she loved most - her husband and children - was the final straw. As she opens up about this experience in our conversation, Shauna's decision to choose presence over perfection wasn't an easy one; by sharing her wise words of wisdom “saying yes to some means saying no to others”. As tough as it can be sometimes Shauna challenges us to remember that if we're destined to disappoint people anyway, shouldn't we make it those who are not as important to us, rather than our closest loved ones? If this resonates with you, then this episode is an absolute must-listen. Shauna's honesty and practical wisdom will inspire you to start prioritizing what truly matters most.


Healers and Heal-Liners

  • Very rarely do you change your life until the pain level gets high enough. 
  • Pay attention to the things and people who make you jealous, because it may reveal what you actually want in your life. 
  • You make the best decisions when your bravery just outweighs your fear. 
  • There’s no one right way for each of us for every season. 
  • If you’re going to give up the myth that you have to do it all for everyone, then that means you have to come to the reality that you’re going to disappoint someone.
  • We set people’s expectations for us by how we communicate to them.
