Episode notes

"I feel like all we're talking about is everything but the truth which is that we're all going to die," she says. "When I was in a lot of pain and I imagined my soul longing, I couldn't wrap my head around it." In some spiritual communities, they believed that when they die, the soul actually longs for the body.

In the conversation that’s meant the most to Glennon, Abby, and Amanda – poet and spoken word artist, Andrea Gibson makes the bravest announcement we’ve ever heard. Andrea shares how to boundlessly, relentlessly love our lives by: paying attention to the only thing we can control; letting go of living in fear; and feeling less alone and terrified through it all.
