313. How to Turn a Mistake into Magic with Suleika Jaouad


Glennon speaks one-on-one with the brilliant Suleika Jaouad about Suleika's journey through the messy middle – living well in a body that does not feel well, and creating a life of beautiful defiance.

  • Why believing we should “Live everyday like our last” is unhelpful;
  • Why the unproductive periods of life are *actually* where you do the most work;
  • The specific, best ways to really show up for friends who are in the messy middle; 
  • How to alchemize your pain into creativity; and
  • The lessons we can all learn from Jellyfish  

  • Suleika Jaouad is the author of the instant New York Times bestselling memoir, Between Two Kingdoms. She wrote the Emmy Award-winning New York Times column “Life, Interrupted,” and her reporting and essays have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, Vogue, and NPR, among others. A highly sought-after speaker, her TED Talk – “What Almost Dying Taught Me About Living” – has nearly five million views.
