The Welcome to Sunday Stillness, a series I'm starting because I need this and I think maybe you do too. I love the

Thursday shows I love our main shows with really fantastic interviews and conversations and information.

Like I love making the main show, but I have also found myself really craving just a few minutes a week of

intentional thoughtfulness, planning, journaling, if that's your gig, just sitting for a second and really thinking about

one concept, one idea that has been floating in and out of my mind a message that comes through when I'm

scrolling that I kind of feel a ping in my heart about but I don't actually stop and let myself sit with it.

I've been craving taking all of those messages and thoughts and moments that I intend to sit down with them. I really

want to actually sit down with them. And so for Sunday's stillness I'm going to

create these very short episodes that you can listen to on Sunday if you want to start

your week this way or any time throughout the week really and just sit with this one idea and really sit with it. So bring your journal or just carve out a few minutes of time to really think about what we're going to talk about in Sunday stillness. It is just a few

minutes of our week where we are still with ourselves in order to shape a more meaningful life in order to be more present in

our connections in our relationships and our actions.

Sometimes it starts with just five intentional minutes.

This very first episode, I want to explore something that I've been thinking about for months because the author

Catherine Morgan Schaffler posted a reel on this topic that I just keep coming back to ever since she posted it last year actually.

Catherine Morgan Shaffler is the author of the book The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control.

It was one of my favorite non-fiction books of 2023,

and it's actually one of our book club picks for 2024 in secret stuff. I loved her book. I love

following her on social and she posted this real a few months ago about the

difference between self-esteem and self-worth.

The real is set to music, so I couldn't, you know, sort of play what she's written there.

So instead I'm just going to read out to you
