In this week's episode we tackle an issue and a conversation we have pretty frequently. How do some people seem to just have the courage to set boundaries and claim their lives and make it all look so easy?And the BIG question: What do permission and purpose have to do with the quest?Sometimes we have to remind each other, we don't see the whole story. We often don't see the beginnings or the messy middle.Brene on her Purpose https://twitter.com/BreneBrown/status/1300537509114413058/photo/1Clip of Brene and Glennon from Unlocking Us podcast https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=841812539618347&extid=8LdYlyMwUka5rYaKUnlocking Us podcast with Glennon Doylehttps://brenebrown.com/podcast/glennon-doyle-brene-on-untamed/"The Infantilization of Adult Professional Women"https://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a12815874/female-politicians-little-girls/EFT (Emotional Freedom Tapping Technique)Brooke PhillipsSign up for Erin's Newsletter here:https://mailchi.mp/2dd63da4d1b2/erinjandarawlingsnewsletterTo connect with Erin and Emily:Email us at thenshedidpod@gmail.comor find us @thenshedidpod on Instagram, Facebook, and TwitterSound and Music: "Flying Free" by Tuf Francis http://www.tuffrancis.com/music

In this episode, we talk about the role fear plays in the quest. Do we need fear? Do we overcome fear? Can fear be helpful? Is fear the enemy of creativity? Or can fear help protect creativity? And how do we deal with the fear all around us at this moment in history?“Fear is always triggered by creativity, because creativity asks you to enter into realms of uncertain outcome. And fear hates uncertain outcomes. This is nothing to be ashamed of. It is, however, something to be dealt with.” Elizabeth Gilbert, Big MagicThere are some very different perspectives on fear. We'd love to hear how you deal with fear in your quest. And as always, let us know how your quest is going! If you are just joining us, let us know what your quest is!
