In this chapter, the speaker shares a personal experience of feeling overwhelmed while planning a family vacation and breaking down in front of their kids. They discuss the importance of acknowledging and expressing difficult emotions as a parent. They also mention exploring uncomfortable feelings and trying to embrace ease and peace as part of the human experience.
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.
