Summary

This might just be the toughest, most personal episode yet in the Summer Sister Series on The Gifts of Imperfection. As Ashley, Barrett, and I tackle Guideposts #5 and #6 (Cultivating Intuition and Trusting Faith: Letting Go of the Need for Certainty and Cultivating Creativity: Letting Go of Comparison), we reflect on our upbringing, which was marked with uncertainty, unpredictability, and plenty of eggshell living. It’s no surprise then that letting go of certainty is one of my greatest challenges. We talk about that and how we try to show up differently in the families we are raising now.

0:57.8	Barrett. What about you? Yeah same number six on the any gram
1:03.0	But for me actually the comparison creativity
1:07.0	will be more up in my grill I think.
1:09.0	Really?
1:10.0	Mm-hmm.
1:11.0	Yeah, so when I start that gratitude journal on my own, in my own house, in my own room by myself.
1:18.0	Oh, got it, okay.
1:20.0	Well, yeah.

1:30.6	too hard to operationalize so we just don't test it because people have different
1:34.0	understandings of what that is. So we just do the need for comparison and creativity.
