Summary

1. Abby shares with Sara the great personal impact Sara’s music has made on her life. 2. Sara and Glennon bond over the joy of solitude, the underrated gifts of being heavy-hearted, and the fact that “there are too many things to be worried about at all times” to be lighthearted. 3. When you are in deep stress, do you try to sabotage your job, relationship, etc.? (Before this conversation, Amanda thought it was just her.) 4. How playfulness and joy – connecting to the little kid who grew up into you – are vital to loving yourself. 5. Sara’s beautiful journey with medication for depression and anxiety – and how she learned her anxiety often arises from an unexpressed need. About Sara: Sara Bareilles is a Tony Award and Emmy Award nominated actor, and Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter. On Broadway, Sara composed music and lyrics for Waitress, in which she was also the lead. Sara also produced original music and executive produced the musical drama series Little Voice.

0:00.0	There she is, hello. It's been so long that we've wanted this moment. Yes. Oh my God.
0:20.3	Oh, I have no idea. I'm so excited to be here. Oh my God. Let's just start right now. Let's
0:29.5	do it. Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. This is a big emotional day for us, for sister and Abby and I
0:37.7	because today we have Sarah Barellis on our podcast. And Sarah, I want to tell you a quick story
0:46.4	that Abby and I just decided we would tell. We weren't going to tell the story. But when Abby and I
0:53.7	first got together, after a little while, I actually had to sit down with Abby. And by the way,
1:00.4	I was just learning like how to be in a relationship for the first time. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't know how
1:10.0	to do it. And so I sat down with her and said, here's the deal. I'm scared. I need you to stop
1:16.9	talking about Sarah Barellis. Sarah, it was a serious talk. I was like, I feel like
1:25.6	you get so, I don't know what's going on with your feelings about Sarah Barellis, but I'm
1:31.1	uncomfortable with it. This was a dead serious. I know people are allowed to have their celebrity
1:35.8	crushes, but we could meet her. And I don't want to deal with what's going to, I just, why do you
1:40.8	start crying every time you talk about her, it makes me uncomfortable. And so this is the conversation
1:47.2	that we had. Sarah, I've been to your shows and I've been a huge fan of yours for a long time.

2:13.6	remember what it was like before 2015 and before marriage equality happened. And you release an
2:21.7	album that had these songs on it, Brave, and I choose you. And you made this video of two couples
2:30.8	getting a proposal video. And the thing about what you, with these songs specifically for me
2:39.8	and how they impacted my life is that it didn't just normalize like gay culture and make people
2:47.9	tolerate us. It was a celebration of us. And I think I hadn't seen that, you know, I hadn't
2:57.8	a straight person. I had especially from a straight person. I think that that's one of the things
