In the span of a few years, Shauna Niequest found herself experiencing a series of changes and heartbreaks that left her feeling like a completely different person. But in the end, she found herself more easily feeling empathy for those who were going through grief themselves. In this episode, Shauna and and I discuss the importance of finding the right geographical place for who you are, the various practices that can help us work through our grief, and how our attempts to outrun grief will always catch up with us. Shauna Niequist is the New York Times bestselling author of Present Over Perfect and I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet. She is married to Aaron, and they live in New York City with their sons, Henry and Mac. Shauna is a bookworm, a storyteller, and a passionate gatherer of people, especially around the table.
For the first of our Season 4 bonus episodes, Laura Leigh sits down with Shauna Niequest, self-titled bookworm, storyteller, and passionate gatherer of people. She is the New York Times best-selling author of “Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, Savor,” and “Present Over Perfect,” and she just released her newest book, “I Guess I Haven't Learned that Yet.” In today's episode, Shauna delves into how humbling herself as a beginner and letting go of the need to be an expert has helped both her writing and faith journey. Shauna talks about how true fearlessness is trusting in God and doing things even while you're afraid. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes the importance of living lightly and exercising practices of silence and solitude, adding how difficult it is to hear God's spirit inside of you when you're sprinting through your life. Shauna reflects on her own experiences and how moving forward through change, releasing control and learning to ask for help can aid young women in seasons of transitions, or seasons of darkness.

Shauna Niequest is with us today, and if you love New York City you're going to love this show. Having moved to the city in the last several years with her family, Shauna's learning to navigate a whole new way of doing things while also realizing there's still some things (even as adults) that we don't understand about life, and that's OK. Not only does she share her favorite things to do in NYC, but she also reminds us how to find new ways of doing things when the old ones no longer work. I love her thoughts on teaching our kids to live out their faith in the real world and the encouragement to find a life-long faith, even in the midst of faith disruptions. Today's show is full service for those of us who are still ironing out the hard places in our faith while also wondering where to go for the best pizza in New York. Don't miss it!
