Feeling anxiety over the future of our country during this pandemic? Trust me, you're NOT alone. NYT Bestselling Author @MarianneWilliamson says you'd be crazy if you WEREN'T feeling anxiety right now. For Marianne, anxiety isn't bad. It's a human acknowledgement of trauma, and a signal that it's time for us to make changes in our lives. Marianne says that our country is having a "crisis of adulthood" and that this pandemic, while immensely challenging, may just be the earth-shattering event to wake us up, and move us from a position of self-contentedness to empathy and action.

Feeling like you've hit your rock bottom? 3-Time NYT Bestselling author @GlennonDoyle can relate. After a severe alcohol addiction, a crippling fight w/ bulimia, and a broken marriage, she's reinvigorated herself with yet another lauded book "UNTAMED" - where she teaches women everywhere including me, how to finally listen to that inner voice and chase the life we actually want to live. There's a reason Oprah Winfrey is producing a scripted film based on her life. Glennon believes that women are tamed to shrink and disappear, rather than embrace the wild, beautiful lives that live inside each and every one us. Really, her message is simple: "Disappoint as many people as you can to avoid disappointing yourself."
