How Amanda Doyle Stops Keeping the Score

About this sermon

It’s the start of a new series, For The Love of Wonderful You! Spring is arriving and as the winter slumber fades away, many of us are likely plunging into a frantic pace of commitments and To Do lists. But we want to take a minute (or approximately 45-mins to an hour) to create a moment where we can punch the brakes a little. Let’s tell that inner taskmaster to relax; and instead, reflect on finding value in who we are in this moment, and how worthy we are just as we are. Jen’s amazing conversation partner today is Amanda Doyle. Amanda is many amazing things but you may know her first and foremost as “Sister” on the We Can Do Hard Things Podcast with Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach. She’s also part of the leadership team at Together Rising, the amazing non-profit that has raised over $50 million dollars and given it away to people all over the world who need it most. Amanda has been a longtime social justice advocate and she uses that knowledge to break down deep truths and complex social issues in all her conversations. Today, she reminds us that spending the energy to stay vulnerable in our relationships will always pay out. In this episode Jen and Amanda talk about: • The struggle to be vulnerable and truly open up versus managing perceptions and staying in control in relationships • How Amanda chose sobriety and the surprising clarity that emerged in her marriage, especially during the pandemic • Jen’s journey to understanding herself and her avoidant tendencies in the aftermath of her divorce • The profound impact of the "love letter" exercise guided by Liz Gilbert, where “Love's voice” urged Amanda to stop keeping score in life * * * #ForTheLove #ForTheLovePodcast #JenHatmaker _________ CHECK OUT Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle:https://www.audacy.com/podcast/we-can-do-hard-things-with-glennon-doyle-d7b39 ➤ For the Love Podcast Episode ft.
