I’m so excited to welcome Katherine Golub to the podcast today. Katherine and I have so much in common–not only our journeys of breaking free from good girl rules, but also our commitment to community organizing and social change. She is a coach for leaders and activists who want to continue showing up for their communities without burning out. In this conversation, we explore the polarity between personal and collective needs, and how radical discernment can help you step into the life you want. Here’s what we cover:

• Why we have to choose to take care of our needs before we can do so
• The definition of radical discernment and how it helps balance personal and collective care
• What resonance actually looks like and how it can help when you're overwhelmed
• The importance of only focusing on the next right thing
• How curiosity can help when it’s difficult to imagine what you want

In this conversation, I’m joined by the author of Sovereign, hypnotist, and fellow ex-Mormon, Michaelann Gardner. Sovereign explores chronic pain, marriage, and faith in a way that connects to the experiences and stories of so many women—even those who don’t share the same religious background. It’s about sex, disordered eating, and divorce, but it’s also about finding your desire and allowing it to guide you into a promised land that may look different from what you imagined. Here’s what we cover:

• How the story of Adam and Eve became a framework to explore ideas about faith, bodies, and reconciliation
• How the wisdom of desire can act as a powerful guide if we trust it to lead us
• The reawakening of hunger and desire as a catalyst for telling the truth to ourselves and others
• How cultural conditioning impacts the way both men and women show up in marriage and sex
• The disconnect between the church’s view of sex as “sacred” and the lived experience of sex
• How the pain of disconnection and dishonesty manifests in the bodies

In the self-help space, it’s easy to assume someone else has it all together. The truth is, nobody does. While I have some answers—and I certainly can provide help to stop people-pleasing—I’m still learning, too. Today, I’m sharing recent changes and insights from my own life to offer an honest look at the messy, yet beautiful, journey of healing—and to remind you that joy, grief, and desire can all coexist. Here’s what I cover:

• How religious scriptures shaped my beliefs about worthiness–and how I’ve grown into a deeper sense of connection
• Why rest, joy, pleasure, and loving your f*cking life are powerful acts of resistance
• Why I stepped away from social media and how it has allowed me to show up more fully in my life
• How retreating to my love of fiction provided me with a soul-deep relief
• How I have become more fully present in my body and my power through pleasure
• How I learned that “Am I enough?” was never the right question to ask
