There are many types of communicators and learning about the type of communicator that you are and what type those people are around you is SO important to have healthy and happy relationships. We also talked about when to set a boundary and when to push past what is comfortable for you. I want to live in a world where we can have boundaries and we can show up fully for everyone.

Elise Loehnen is on the podcast today! She is the author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. This book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness. Elise also hosts the podcast Pulling the Thread. If you are into spirituality at all and are interested in hearing from spiritual elders and wise thinkers those are some really great conversations over there! Elise has co-written/ghost written 12 other books. In this conversation, we focus on raising emotionally healthy boys. This is hard to do because it’s a cultural thing not just something that happens inside our own homes! We talk about envy, something women tend to struggle with. We talk about how women are givers and why that is. I have a lot of spiritual questions (of course!) I love that this is one of the things that she focuses on in her work and it was so fun to pick her brain! This is a wide-ranging conversation and I had SO much fun chatting with Elise!

Today, I am joined by the wonderful Sarah Levy! She is a writer and the author of Drinking Games which is a memoir and essays that explores the role that alcohol has in our formative years and what it means to opt out of a culture completely enmeshed in drinking. Sarah has been featured on Good Morning America, The Los Angeles Times, Buzzfeed, The New York Post, Apple Books, Pure Wow, Goodreads, Amazon, and more! Okay, I’m impressed!! In this episode, she talks about her story with alcohol and why she decided to give it up. She is now six years sober. She is a new mom! She has a three month old baby and we kick off the conversation with some new mom talk!! We also have a super fun part of the conversation where we talk about Taylor Swift and our favorite books – this is a FUN one! If you have been listening to this podcast for awhile, you know that I am super interested in the sober community and don’t love my relationship with alcohol so I love conversations like these. Plus what better time to have this conversation than during dry January! I hope that you learn something in this episode and I hope that you feel encouraged and don’t feel any shame and I hope that you feel confident in the life decisions that you are making regardless of what they are!
