0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Almost 30 podcast. This is Lindsay Simpsick. I'm so glad you're here. This is a rerun episode. And don't, don't turn this off.
0:23.3	This is a really special episode that we did with Glennon Doyle back in 2020. Very, very potent time.
0:31.6	I was so grateful. Chris and I were so grateful. We got to sit down with Glennon. We did it virtually, but
0:37.6	it was it was one of the episodes we did back then that I was like, it just reminded me
0:49.0	that this is why we do this, you know, someone like Glennon who was just so profound in her work and in her impact.
0:58.2	And we were able to ask her some really, really intimate, hard-hitting questions that I think

1:46.8	Chris and I, that was nearly six years ago, which is kind of crazy. So we might sound
1:53.1	different. I feel like we are different people, but hey, you know, we've put our lives on the
1:58.7	internet for the last 10 years. That's just how it goes.
2:01.1	I hope we've changed.
2:02.8	But we talked to Glennon about her evolution and self-honoring, really untaming and redefining
2:10.5	what it means to honor her parents and honor herself through different processes and conversations. And she was very candid and
