161. How to Let Go of Perfection this Ho...

Glennon Doyle and Audacy
About this episode

Holiday Expectations are the joy robbers. Here’s how to leave room for yourself, and be sturdy this holiday season (and always).


1. How in our preparation for making things perfect, we leave no room for the peace and joy that is actually in front of us.

2. The opposite revolutions that Glennon and Amanda are having right now – and why they’re at the core the same.

3. The final frontier: How to be who we are wherever we are – and let our people be who they are wherever we are, too.

4. What it felt like for Glennon, Abby, and Amanda to watch Tish’s first live performance on stage.
