Summary

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.  If you haven’t listened to Glennon’s last recovery episode, check it out here: Ep 182 Glennon Update: Lessons from Therapy. If talk about eating disorders and mental illness helps: Listen today. If it triggers: Skip today. CW: eating disorders If you have an eating disorder, you may find the National Alliance for Eating Disorders a helpful resource: https://www.allianceforeatingdisorders.com/

So sad sounding. Was it? Well, I'm not always a happy person. You're like, okay,

0:47.2

welcome to Weekend Do Hard Things. Okay. Well, interesting that you mentioned that because

0:53.0

today's going to be one of those days where I talk about how recovery is going and what

0:56.6

I'm learning that I think might help everybody, everybody. First of all, just God bless every single

1:07.4

person who decides at some point in their adult life to really freaking do therapy and dive into

1:16.8

all of their shit because it is hard. You know, I mean, babe, I just, I cannot believe how hard

1:26.8

it is. I cannot believe how uncomfortable and tiring and, you know, I didn't sleep last night.

And sometimes as I've told you, I just feel like, why the hell am I doing this? This is ridiculous.

1:41.4
