Are you ready to show up for yourself? It may not be obvious, but when you settle in life, more often than not the reason will be that you feel inadequate for what you want. When you begin to see how often your subconscious insecurities are showing up as the root of the unhappiness in your life, you will be empowered to take true self-care and remember you are worthy. Abby is a dynamic coach, speaker, writer, and trainer, dedicated to facilitating sustainable transformational change. A former private practice psychotherapist, Abby uses leading-edge neuroscience to teach people to rewire their thoughts, adapt and transcend their limitations to achieve great heights. Today, I am so excited to be joined by Abby Havermann, an incredible woman whose story will blow your mind. Abby’s honesty, openness, advice, and her knowledge on neuroscience are insights that will inspire you to take a deeper look at the power that unworthiness has in your life decisions. Throughout this episode, Abby reflects on her breaking point when she realized she was betraying herself and the people in her life and how she is now teaching others what she wishes she knew earlier. In this episode, Abby and I talk about her night in jail that led to her epiphany, the real meaning of self-care, how her childhood impacted her relationships, why we become addicted to certain emotions, and so much more.

In this episode, I’m honored to welcome back Paola Mendoza, along with the co-author of her new book Sanctuary, Abby Sher with an urgent conversation for this moment, just a month away from our next election. Paola is an acclaimed film director, activist, author and artist working at the leading-edge of human rights all alongside being a devoted mother to her 7-year old son. A co-founder of The Women’s March, she served as its Artistic Director and co-authored the New York Times best seller Together We Rise: Behind the Scenes at the Protest Heard around the World. Abby is an award-winning writer and performer and author of Miss You Love You Hate You Bye, All the Ways the World Can End, Breaking Free, Amen, Amen, Amen: Memoir of a Girl Who Couldn’t Stop Praying, and Kissing Snowflakes. Abby has written and/or performed for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Second City, Upright Citizen’s Brigade, HBO and NPR and one of her essays was included in the first season of Amazon TV’s, Modern Love. Most importantly, she says, she is the mom to three very cool kiddos. I first interviewed Paola after the Women’s March of 2016, personally still shell-shocked by the election of Trump and searching to find my own voice of resistance and path to activism. Since then, she has continued to be at the forefront of social change, especially when it comes to the issue of immigration, as she has organized, demonstrated, documented stories while travelling with the Caravan and now co-written a young adult novel that is both a cautionary tale and story of hope, Sanctuary. Hope and faith run through this conversation I have with Paola and Abby just as it runs through the poignant book they co-created, a story that paints a harrowing picture of a dystopian future, an America in 2032 that microchips its citizens to easily identify and capture undocumented immigrants. It’s also a book that illuminates resilience, strength, and the power of love. I hope you’ll listen with an open heart as Paola and Abby share about the teenage protagonist Vali who becomes a freedom fighter, the mother who sets Vali on her quest, how storytelling builds compassion and calls us to action, and how you and I can spread this story far and wide and organize for the upcoming election. In doing so, we can shape a hopeful future and help make possible freedom and sanctuary for undocumented immigrants like Vali, like the families whose stories Paola has documented, like the mothers in Matamoros, and like our own neighbors, who help our communities in essential ways. Much appreciation, P.S. Know someone who would love this conversation? Pay this forward to a friend who may be interested.
