This is for the control freak

For a long time, popular podcaster, Tara Sun tried controlling her own life, until one day she heard the audible voice of God say, “You aren’t supposed to be here.” Just like the rest of us, Tara was determined to salvage her life’s plan because she thought she knew better than God. But like everyone else who has tried to white- knuckle their way to self-fulfillment, Tara discovered what lies on the other side: frustration, disappointment and exhaustion when life doesn’t go our way. 
 
She wrote a book that takes us on a journey of discovering the anicdoe for the empthy myth of control.
Tara's new book that releases Next Tuesday 3/7

The episode where Katie gets counseling on the spot

I haven't yet shared about how post covid I started having panic attacks about traveling. I started sharing this (embarrassing) fact with a few close friends and many people told me, ME TOO!!!! Or just some unexpected anxiety that came from nowhere in this post-covid world.
So I found a podcast that helped me a TON and I reached out to the host to see if I could have her counsel me live on a podcast episode. Thankfully Diana Swillinger is a good sport and this may very possibly be my favorite episode to date.
If you have ever struggled with an ounce of anxiety don't miss this episode!

The producer of the Selena Gomez ”My mind and me” talks all about mental health

If you're not familiar, Raquelle Stevens appears alongside Selena Gomez, as part of her inner circle, in My Mind & Me as well as Selena+Chef on HBO. Tanya Rad is co-host of On Air with Ryan Seacrest.  Both Tanya and Raquelle have popular podcasts: Scrubbing In and Giving Back Generation. 
In their debut book, the are sharing a message of hope and tips on how to build a “sunshine mindset,”, particularly for those who struggle with mental health, self-worth, friendships, relationships, career (i.e. balancing work/personal life), social media, etc.
From the heart of LA, celebrities, and influencer life, she sees through the facade and has such encouragement for all walks of life.
Not that I care (or have told every single human I have ever met) But after all their podcast interviews promoting this book. Raquelle said this was her favorite conversation (AHHH)
"I HOPE THAT THE COURAGE, THE UNSHAKEN HOPE, AND THE SUNSHINY JOY OF THESE TWO FRIENDS OF MINE RUB OFF ON YOU AS YOU READ THESE WORDS THEY HAVE SHARED."
—SELENA GOMEZ

Sandra Stanley and the relationship with your parents, now that you are a grown-up.

When I posted to social what topics you want covered more here on the Truth for your Twenties podcast. Several of you mentioned a relationship with your parents as you become an adult.
And I can think of no one to unpack this subject better than my personal hero, Sandra Stanley
Sandra and her husband Andy co-wrote a new book on parenting and if you have been around here for more than a minute you have probably heard me quote Andy at least a time or two. He is what I believe one of the best communicators of our day founder of Atlanta-based North Point Ministries consisting of a network of 180 churches around the globe that collectively serve over 200,000 people weekly. 
And the author of the book I recommend almost every day the new rules for love sex and dating. 
His beautiful wife Sandra went to Georgia Tech and then went on to get her master of arts from Dallas Theological Seminary. Sandra has a heart for foster kids and foster families, as she and Andy have been foster parents since 2010. 
Together they have raised 3 of their own biological children and just wrote a book called parenting, getting it right. 
We are chatting about how to parent FOR THE RELATIONSHIP and how to repair it even if you are the child.
