Summary

The hilarious Jen Hatmaker (New York Times–bestselling author and host of the podcast For the Love) joins me to chat, in part, about her new memoir Awake. We talk about the moment in her life when everything seemingly dissolved (including her marriage of 26 years and her relationship to the church) and the much deeper awakening that she entered from there, when she truly started to rely on herself.

the big changes in our lives. I get so choked up because I feel like your show and the

conversations are what the world needs, encouraging, empowering counter-programming that acts like a

lighthouse when the world feels dark.

On this show, we pull apart the web in which we all live to understand who we are and why we're here.

My hope is that these conversations spark moments of resonance and plant tiny seeds of awareness so that we might all collectively learn and grow.

1:51.2

Here is today's guest, Jen Hatmaker, in typical Jen Hatmaker fashion, talking about how she was about to be canceled.

1:59.1

I was at that crossroads where I was either going to be able to hang on to my career as I knew
