Episode notes

"I saw a tunnel. And there were the faces of all the people I loved around the tunnel," she said. "And then after the tunnel came this vision of myself, and it was like 20 pounds heavier." She says her hands started to clench and not be able to unclench. The experience also made her laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

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.
