If you feel like you’re in survival mode and white knuckling your way through life, then this episode and this book are for you. It was a joy to have Sarah Pascual on the podcast today to talk with me about a book that we both recently read called, Try Softer, by Aundi Kolber, MA, LPC.

On a previous episode, Sarah and I discussed the book, Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest, and we had so much fun, I invited her back to discuss another book. Sarah is in the process of becoming a spiritual director, and also works on staff at Resonate Church in Atlanta. So, as we discuss Try Softer, she gives her perspective from a spiritual standpoint, and I give mine from a therapeutic background.

Spoiler: we both highly recommend this book! It is a gentle companion to anyone’s healing journey.

If you enjoy hearing from Sarah, you may want to check out an interview I had with her about soul-care and missional living on a previous episode. She is a gem!

May you be encouraged on your journey with Jesus.
