<p><strong>Key Conversation Points:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Why is Christie afraid of mediocrity? Scared of being normal? Let's not miss out on an experience because we're trying to make it extraordinary! </li> <li>There is grace in muddling through the unique transitions and goodbyes that aren't ordinary or daily. We can do it differently than our past. </li> <li>If you're wanting to mark a ritual as something special, you may not have to look far. </li> <li>Lower the bar in a healthy way.  Give yourself permission to be a human. Whether a kid is driving, going to college or something else....do whatever you can to take off the weight it can bring.</li> <li>Books mentioned:<br /> <a href= "https://bookshop.org/books/wholeheartedness-busyness-exhaustion-and-healing-the-divided-self/9780802872708"> Wholeheartedness: Busyness, Exhaustion, and Healing the Divided Self</a> by Chuck DeGroat.<br /> <a href= "https://bookshop.org/books/wild-things-the-art-of-nurturing-boys-9781515902607/9781414322278"> Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys</a> by David Thomas and Stephen James.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Podcast links:</strong><br /> Follow Lisa-Jo on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/lisajobaker/?hl=en">@lisajobaker</a> and Christie at <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/christiepurifoy/?hl=en">@christiepurifoy</a> and please leave a review about what you think about today's podcast!<strong><br /></strong><br /> <a href="https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">Click here</a> to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast.</p> <p>_______</p> <p>Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible. <a href= "https://www.thrivemarket.com/ordinary">Click here</a> to visit join Thrive Market today and get $80 in free groceries!</p> <p><a href="https://ivpress.com/liturgy-of-the-ordinary-2019">Click here</a> to purchase the book <em>Liturgy of the Ordinary</em> and use the code TISH22 for 30% off the book.</p> <p><a href="https://greenchef.co
