Summary

Hey friend! Do you find yourself still reeling from the extraordinary changes we’ve experienced over the past two years in one way or another? (My hand is raised over here for sure!) Today, I’m bringing back one of my favorite episodes from 2022 - the amazing Shauna Niequist ! I brought this conversation back from the archives because I don’t know about you, friend, but this book and Shauna’s message still feel relevant to what’s going on around me right now. I hope you also find value in listening to this one once again with me. In this episode, Shauna and I take a deep dive into how pain can make us tender, demand less of the world, and show us the good even in the face of what has been lost. We also talk about how seasons of significant loss can act as catalysts to significant transformation in our lives. Our pain doesn’t define us; what we do with it does. You truly don’t want to miss this one, my friend! Shauna Niequist is the New York Times bestselling author of Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, Savor, Present Over Perfect, and her latest book, I Guess I Haven’t Learned That Yet. She is married to Aaron, and they live in New York City with their sons, Henry and Mac. Listen in to hear all about: The concept of finding your next self. The importance of taking care of ourselves (and how to cultivate a desire to fight for our health!). How to live lightly and be a person who is easily delighted. Favorite quotes: ~~If you feel overwhelmed by the mess that your life has become, don't try to go through that alone. ~~I need to not listen to the voices that are telling me who to be, I need to get quiet enough to listen to the voice deep inside of me to see what she has to say. ~~We don't change when we are feeding ourselves a steady diet of shame and abuse. We change when we anchor ourselves in love and self-esteem - That’s what gives us the courage to make changes. ~~I want to walk through life not dragging around these resentments, grudges and complaints. I want to live with a sense of freedom, with a lot of space inside myself, inside my heart for possibility for the present and the future instead of feeling like I am dragging my past behind me like an anchor. ~~I want to maintain the capacity to be easily delighted. I want to be a person for whom joy comes easily and frustration is harder to come by. ~~Pain can tenderize you and can make you demand less of the world and can show you what’s good even in the face of what’s been lost. In this episode I answered this question: Do you have quotes that you frame for inspiration?

0:00.0	Hey, hey, this is Allie and welcome to the Allie Worthington show.
0:06.7	It's where we gather, learn, share our stories, and have a great time.
0:10.8	Every week I'll be chatting with a friend who I know, who I like and I respect,
0:15.4	and I want to learn something from.
0:17.2	And after we have that discussion, we are going to have coaching time.
0:20.2	So I'm going to be
0:20.8	answering your questions about life, about faith, and about business. Welcome to the show today.
0:27.5	I want to end the year with some special shows that I think are going to set us up for success in the
0:32.2	new year. I'm resharing two of the most popular and impactful conversations from earlier in this year. This week,
0:39.5	I want us to reshare a conversation with Shauna Nequist. Shana and I, of course, take a deep
0:44.9	dive into how pain can tenderize us, how pain can change our perspective on the world,
0:51.3	and it can show us the good, even in the face of what's been lost.
0:54.7	We're also going to talk about how seasons of significant loss can act as catalyst for huge
1:00.9	life transformation. And as we begin to process the year that we've had and the growth that
1:06.2	we've had this year, and of course, most growth in life comes from seasons of pain.
1:10.6	It says a lot for an
1:11.6	Enneagram 7 to be able to share that with you. I really wanted us to revisit this special
1:16.6	conversation that we had was Shawna. Now, of course, as my gift to you, don't forget, I am giving
1:22.7	away five coaching calls again. In December and January, I want us to wrap up our year well, begin our
1:31.2	year well, because when I'm not traveling and I have downtime, I love to do these free coaching
1:36.5	calls with executives and business owners. So if you're a business owner, if you're an executive,
1:42.3	if you would like to just get some help, I'd love to do a
