How well do you take care of yourself? What have you learned, and what have you unlearned to do what is popularly called "adulting?" I find it hard sometimes! It's so much easier to pin the responsibility on others, to blame partners, parents, or bosses when our needs are not being met. That's not a surprise, discomfort is never comfortable.
My guest today is Erin Weber-Johnson, and we talk about "adulting" and so much more. We talk about feeling our vulnerability at work and the courage it takes to deal with it. We discuss how our lives surprise and disappoint us. What we feel and think about our worth, our value as human beings. We talk about what we ask our bodies to carry, often unconsciously, and how miraculously healing gestures of connection can be.
Please know that two difficult topics come up in our conversation: suicide and miscarriage. I believe in the support of sharing these stories, and being mindful of when we are at a place to take these stories in. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
