Summary

Is this really happening? Today we are asking the one and only Shauna Niequist (!!!) what she wishes her younger self had known about marriage, friendships, motherhood, and writing. Shauna’s spoken words, just like her written ones, are nothing short of a gift. We hope this conversation inspires you to take a step back from the burden of busyness and expectations, and simply take notice of the beautiful world around you.

For more encouragement in your motherhood journey, check out the stories at Coffee + Crumbs.

0:00.0	There were times when I was just, I was unwilling to see what he wanted because I was so sure he
0:06.1	actually really did want what I wanted, right? I hear you saying you want something totally
0:12.9	different, Brian. Make sure what you mean is you want what I want.
0:21.1	We believe motherhood is a gift, an art not a science. We believe it takes the village to raise
0:27.5	our kids and that motherhood is better when we stick together. Most of all, we believe motherhood
0:33.8	is holy work. At the core of our show, we want you to feel safe, known, encouraged, and loved.

0:50.7	Ashley and I got to spend a little time with the one and only, SeananyQuist, who for those of you
0:56.8	who are not familiar with her, she is a writer, teacher, a wife to Aaron and a mom to Henry and Mack.
1:03.9	She is also the author of Six Delightful and Thought Provoking Books and her seventh.
1:09.3	I guess I haven't learned that yet. We'll be out in April of 2022.

1:25.9	chill to absolutely no chill at all. Where were you at with this conversation,
1:30.4	Wishana? I mean, I was legitimately an 11. Just absolutely no chill inside. I still remember the day
1:39.1	I found out we were going to get to talk to her and I leapt out of my chair, gasping, staring at my
1:45.6	computer and disbelief. And I remember I immediately told Brett, who completely failed to meet my
1:51.4	level of enthusiasm. And I think that's when I texted you because I knew that you would actually
1:57.5	match my energy. So absolutely. When we recorded this, I felt borderline sick to my stomach the
2:04.3	entire morning because I was so nervous. Speaking of which, I would actually like to thank our listeners
