This chapter explores the fear of not being able to prioritize joy and connection in life. It delves into the concept of worthiness and reflects on personal experiences that highlight the importance of living a fulfilling life.
Abby and Glennon attempt a Relaxation Intervention, which Amanda sabotages – resulting in a riveting discussion of why we can’t (don’t) de-stress, and how relaxation can help us ALL feel a little more human:
Why so many of us have lost our playful, silly, absurd selves – and how we might recover them;
The “Relaxation Homework” Abby assigned to Amanda;
How over-functioners can channel their superpower into being fully alive;
Why it’s not our job to ensure things won’t fall apart, but to accept that they absolutely will;
And the one “tracking” tool Amanda will use to find more moments of connection.
