Summary

In this episode, Sarah and Laura open with a discussion about stories and narratives and how they can be complicated (and not always helpful!). Then, Kindra Hall joins Laura to discuss the more positive aspects of the stories we tell -- both in work and in life. In the Q&A, a listener writes in regarding the challenges of meshing a conservative religious culture and values system with working motherhood.

Kindra's book released today (Jan 11!) and is called Choose Your Story, Change Your Life.
