Shauna Niequist and I Discuss How to Discover New Ways of Living and …

Her book, I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet: Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ones Stop Working

Why the word hospitality is important to her

What self-compassion means to her and how she practices it

Seeing out beauty as an act of prayer, worship, and resistance

Putting herself in the path of joy and beauty, giving herself the greatest chance to find them

How to practice being easily delighted

It’s ok for the joy of something to be that it feels like play

Seeing people different from you is a reminder that you can change and find a new way of being

How radical and freeing it is to consent to the reality of the way things are

The value of adding to our toolkit of ways we can help ourselves when we are struggling

What it means for her that sometimes saying no is in service to a much better yes
