Giving yourself permission with Hannah Brencher

Listen Later

Hey hey! I love having a chance to bring back one of my favorite conversations with someone who is not just my friend, but a friend of the show. This woman is brilliant, so Smart Girl Summer is the perfect time to re-air this incredible conversation.

Hannah Brencher is the founder of More Love Letters (leaving letters for strangers- how fun is that?!), a TED speaker, and the best-selling author of three books. 

Hannah teaches people to establish important disciplines through her fantastic online courses and doesn’t shy away from tough topics like mental illness. I’m so excited for you to get to hear from her today!

Join in as Hannah and I discuss:

  • Why giving yourself permission to try something new is so important

  • What it’s really like being the breadwinner, and why this is an essential conversation for women in the church

  • How to protect yourself from comparison and imposter syndrome

  • Why gratitude (and expressing it!) at every juncture is key

    • Hannah Brencher is a TED speaker, founder of More Love Letters, and author of three bestselling books, including her latest, Fighting Forward: Your Nitty-Gritty Guide to Beating the Lies That Hold You Back. Hannah and her husband, Lane, live in Atlanta with their daughter.

    Favorite quotes:

    • “If you want to learn how to hone your voice and you want to become a writer and you haven’t established a readership, a blog is a really great way to start.”
  • “If you have never tried something before don’t say no because you are scared.”
  • “I don’t want people to be spectators in the lives of other people. I want them to be fully in their lives and that requires doing the work every single day.”
  • “Just because it has been done this one way a thousand times before doesn’t mean that it is what you have to do.”
  • “Make sure you finish things as well as you start them.” 
  • “We need to celebrate more because we are doing big things and just because it doesn’t look like the milestone that person had doesn’t mean your milestone is any less important or any less worthy to be celebrated.”
