This is an I-Heart podcast.

You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Girl.

Welcome back to I Choose Me.

I've been talking to Jen Hatmaker about her new book, Awake, and she's got some pretty amazing nuggets to share, some wisdoms for us.

Congratulations, Jen, first of all.

You have broken a generational cycle for not just yourself, but for your kids, for your grandson.

They are awake because of you, and they are no longer locked in to someone else's rules of how they

should live their lives. Those are the same rules that you grew up with. The purity culture,

the gender norms, the shame. So you're just an inspiration. You're a modern day role model to not only women in your community, but your children.

And I know you're probably exhausted.

That is such a nice thing to say.

I acknowledge you're exhausted because it's hard.

It's a lot.

Yeah.

But I'm going to ask more of you.

I thought since you've had this awakening, it would be really great for us to provide sort of a little toolkit some ways that our listeners can get started because, as you've shown, it's never too late.

I love this.

Okay.

So how did you get past the anger?

How can we get past the anger?

Oh, I wish there was a fast forward button.

If I knew one, I would tell you, if I knew that there was a way to make that part quicker, I would give it to you.
