We are beginning a short series on leaving the obedient life. For the next few episodes, my co-hosts and I
will be exploring questions about what our shoulds have been, what it
looked like for us to step across, or transgress, those well-worn paths into
our own wildness, and what living from our own knowing and nature looks like
for us now.
In this episode I answer some of these questions about my
own life. Before I invite my guests to share so bravely about their stories, I
thought I would share with you some of the places I’ve encountered Great
Shoulds in my life and what my experience of stepping beyond the bounds of
obedience has been like for me.
As I tell some of my story, I also explore the experiences
of sacrifice, permission, grief, and blessing on the journey of leaving the
obedient life as we learn to trust our knowing and to live from that knowing.
