Books That Shape Us

Join Jennifer and me as we discuss Untamed by Glennon Doyle. Jennifer shares how this book is one giant permission wand for her to live life on her terms and as her true self. We talk about the power of rest, and how giving ourselves permission to love ourselves as ourselves is a mighty act. We dive into what it feels like to know something deeply, how it feels in the body and how new worlds & possibilities open up when we listen to that deep knowing.

We also share embarrassing stories and giggle about science words that are waaaaaay too close to naughty words. 😉
