Episode notes

Glennon: I feel like as women or any marginalized group has to figure out what's the sandbox you're being put in. She says there is no one set of rules that is going to make everyone happy. "It's not that there can be one set of Rules," Glennon writes, but rather a series of questions about how people should live their lives.

1. What to do when you’ve done everything you were supposed to do and ended up in a place you don’t want to be.

2. Why the question “What do you want?” is terrifying – and how to start answering it authentically for yourself.

3. The power of imagining what does not yet exist in order to make space for new possibilities.

4. The gift of a “midlife crisis”

5. What a mother’s job really is.
