Ep 81: Embracing New Seasons, Making Changes, Identity and The Power Of Community with Shauna Niequist

<p>Friends, have you ever found yourself thinking "I guess I haven't learned that yet"? We can make plans and set goals but sometimes life happens, and we find ourselves in a situation we didn't see coming.</p> <p>In today’s episode, I’m talking with writer and storyteller, Shauna Niequist. Throughout our conversation, you'll hear Shauna unpacked this very concept. She talks about the art of gathering around a table, moving her family to New York and mourning the identities that we outgrow.</p> <p>Shauna also shares her perspective on rediscovery and embracing new seasons of life. There is power in putting down the ideas of how others perceive us and simply living as who we are truly meant to be.</p> <p>Just like a lovingly home-cooked meal, Shauna has all the elements to truly satisfy your soul. We'd love to see you recreate the meal that Shauna shared in this episode!
