"What now? I am out with lanterns, looking for myself. But here’s the thing about carrying light with you: No matter where you go, and no matter what you find—or don’t find—you change the darkness just by entering it. You clear a path through it....A quote from Emily Dickinson that begins the lovely new memoir of poet, Maggie Smith. I picked up her book on vacation over the summer and finished within a couple of days. What some are calling a 'divorce memoir' actually discredits the profound truths of self-discovery in life's second chapter.Join me for a bonus discussion with Maggie Smith as she explores: "the power of learning to come home to yourself."-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms PodcastConversation Starter CardsLaura Fenton SubstackConnect with Maggie:Book: You Could Make This Place BeautifulSubstackInstagramWebsiteEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

Episode Summary:  Loneliness is a universal struggle that lowers life expectancy, increases anxiety, and causes a profound longing for what we once had. It wreaks havoc on our physical and emotional well-being because it is the opposite of what we were made for. We were MADE FOR PEOPLE —we were made for relationships. Joining me for his second appearance on the show is author, Justin Whitmel Earley, here to discuss his latest book, Made for People: Why We Drift into Loneliness and How to Fight for a Life of Friendship. In today’s conversation, Justin sheds light on the transformative power of friendship and presents actionable practices for building a life of genuine connection.Who is this episode for? If you find yourself wondering if there is something more for you in your friendships, this is for you!-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms PodcastPrevious Episode: Habits of the Household with Justin Whitmel Earley (EP197)Book: Outlive by Peter AttiaJustin's Resource: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and BusinessPodcast: Raising Boys and GirlsConnect with Justin:Book: Made for People by Justin Whitmel EarleyWebsitehttps://www.instagram.com/justinwhitmelearley/https://www.facebook.com/justinwhitmelearleyauthor/https://twitter.com/Justin_W_EarleyView the full show notes pageEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
