The plan is to sell things like women who feel like shit about ourselves. And you do not sell things by telling people that they're all right how they are. You have to tell them that they're not all right the way they are. To go back to Abby's point about the plan from a historic perspective, what you're saying about a room full of women who are sick is the ideal. That was when the Industrial Revolution happened and we stopped having families work as a unit so that kids and partnerships were necessary to keep family afloat.
Glennon takes us along on her “exile walk” to share how recovery’s going and some new found wisdom that will help us all including:
1. How to shut off the mind and stop over-intellectualizing to allow space for other parts and memories to rise up.
2. Acknowledging that nobody’s “fine” – and we’re all either transforming or transmitting our pain.
3. Glennon's interaction with a young surfer that offended them both (in very different ways).
4. How to start to let go of the prize of privilege in order to receive the treasures of being fully human.
