Summary

This week we talk to Glennon Doyle Melton about staying open to life In This Interview Glennon and I Discuss... The One You Feed parable. Having to get through the bad stuff to get to the good stuff. Being terrified of pain. If we work with our negative emotions we can transform them into something beautiful. The benefit of sitting with our negative emotions. Learning to use envy as a positive tool. Losing ourselves to pretending and addition. The continuous journey of valleys and mountains. Being "brutiful". How pain is a harsh but great teacher. How a broken heart is not the end of anything, it's the beginning. Using pain as fuel. The mantra "staying open". The power of service and art. We can numb our feelings and hide or feel our feelings and share. The power of the words "Me Too". How getting sober is like recovering from frostbite. Getting sober is hard but being sober is wonderful. The benefit of being forced to our knees. How no one is allowed to try and give you perspective in the middle of your pain. Bringing our whole selves to all our roles in lives. Surface conversations leave us lonely all the time because everyones surface is different, at deeper levels we are all the same. The fear of being honest about who we are.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Eric from the one you feed. Happy holidays to you. Whether you enjoy them or you hate them,
0:05.7	I hope you're making the best of them. As a holiday gift and as preparation for the new year, we are
0:12.3	re-releasing seven of the older episodes. If you're new to the show, all these episodes are over a year
0:19.9	old, so you may not have heard these yet if you've only been listening for a year. I pick the episodes
0:26.4	because either A, I think it's a really great episode, or B, I think it talks about behavior change,
0:32.5	which we're heading into the new year and that's on a lot of people's mind. Speaking of which,
0:37.6	we are going to try something this new year. We're going to try the first one you feed group
0:43.9	transformation program. It'll be $100 for a month. We're going to limit it to 10 people. We will
0:50.7	meet online four times that month. We'll discuss tips and tricks and different ways to ensure that

1:39.9	What I keep discovering these days is that I have to run towards the fear and I actually have
1:46.4	to sit with my anger and I actually have to look at my envy right in the eye and if I can be
1:52.1	still with it, it eventually transforms into something beautiful.
2:03.8	Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of
