The Latest from Shauna
“Everything that used to work has stopped working, all at the same time.”
Award-winning author Shauna Niequist’s mom wrote down this phrase in her mid-forties and shared it with Shauna in her mid-forties. It was exactly the way Shauna was feeling at the time. Many of the beliefs and practices that had been useful in her life no longer worked. After trying—and failing—to move forward using the same old tools, she realized she required new ones: courage, curiosity, and self-compassion.
Throughout the five sessions of this video series, Shauna talks about unlearning what is no longer helpful, embracing curiosity, and making peace with the unexpected twists and turns of life. She shares candidly about the challenges and blessings she has experienced and invites participants to explore what happens when we release our expectations for how we thought life would look and open ourselves up to the freedom and peace that come from choosing to be a beginner again.
Discover that life is more about questions than answers, more about forgiveness than force, more about tenderness than trying hard.
Souls are fragile. Caring to our souls cannot wait. Shauna Niequist talks about how she ignored tending to her soul and the damage spread through all the other parts of her life.
