Today we are speaking with Author Peyton Garland. Peyton is a writer, wanna-be rapper, and coffee shop hopper who loves connecting people to a grace much bigger than expected. Her debut book, Not so by Myself, was promoted by Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino and endorsed by TED Talk speaker and creator of the More Love Letters movement, Hannah Brencher. She lives in Colorado with her husband, Josh (JG), and their two gremlin dogs, Alfie and Daisy.In this episode we discuss: 1) The shift from perfection to grace and how this was initiated by a good friend who gave Peyton permission to ask for help and support which led to 3 different diagnosis from a mental health professional. This opened the door to letting go of bitterness and perfectionism which led to embracing the term grace. 2) We spoke about shame, the weight of it, how to shift from it and the doors it opened in Peyton’s life when she learned to shift from perfection to grace. 3) The power of holding the door open for the people behind you.  Once you have learned the lessons, they have changed your life, learning how to pay that forward to impact others, shorten their learning curve and be a source of support is how we can continue to hold that door open for others.
