Glennon Doyle

That's good.

So I think what we're doing is what we're always doing on this podcast is just examining the picture in our head of how it's supposed to be so that we can at least let go of the shamed

that we're experiencing the day differently than the picture that everyone puts in front of us, that it is a lot for all of us.

We just didn't know that it was because of this closeness of the spirits, which now we do.

Let's hear from Laura.

Hi, my name is Laura.

Today is my 27th birthday, and I'm filling it with all of my favorite things.

So far, we've gotten coffee, breakfast sandwiches, watching Fonda movies, and of course, listen to the New Week and Do Hard Things episode.

I hate phone calls almost as much as Glennon hates texting, and leaving a voicemail seems so embarrassing.

But I told myself this was the year I'm going to do all the things if they make me uncomfortable, so here I am.

I want to express gratitude to all three of you.

Life is really fucking hard and beautiful and confusing, but you three bring me, along with countless others, so much joy and comfort.

I relate to each of you in so many ways and there are truly no words to express how thankful I am to be invited into your conversations every week.

This is such a weird age and I literally have no clue what I'm doing, but I think that's okay.

Just thank you for making being alone feel a little less lonely.

I'm sending all three of you so much love and thank you for creating such a safe space to land every week.

I love you so much.

They all are.

Nobody knows.

I think Laura might know, you guys.
