Is acceptance overrated? What happens when you have to face a new year without your person in it (or without the health you used to have!)? In this special two-part episode, we face the new year together - with special guest, historian, author, and queen of awkward conversations, Kate Bowler.
In this episode we cover:
How do you have hope for the year to come when right now maybe isn’t so great?
Acceptance, moving forward, and ferocious self-advocacy
The Math of Suffering: this year, last year, and measuring love
Why social bonds matter, and what happens when no one sees you
We're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons. This episode was originally recorded in 2021.
