Week 12: The Voice of Grace [Loveable 013] Jan 16, 2018

“Grace isn’t just acceptance of the status quo. Grace contains the status quo—all of our struggle and pain and mess—and embraces us and values us anyway.

Week 9: What to Do When Your Heart Feels Like a Jungle [Loveable 010] Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

“Embracing your worthiness is up to you and you alone—we cannot truly receive love until we have embraced that we are worthy of love. However, we all need someone to walk with us as we do so. We don’t depend upon this person for our sense of worth, but we can lean upon them when […]

Week 8: The Small Gate and Narrow Road Back to Your True Self [Loveable 009] Dec 05, 2017

Show notes

Emotional healing and spiritual growth are not about eliminating our pain; they are about approaching our pain.

In Episode 9 of The […]

Week 6: Unbecoming Who You Are Not [Loveable 007] Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

“You already are what you are becoming. You don’t build what you are; you chip away at what you are not. We are, each of us, like blocks of wood, and becoming our true self is the gradual process of carving away the excess and steadily becoming more and more the shape of what we […]

Week 5: Letting Go of the Solution to All of Your Problems [Loveable 006] Nov 07, 2017

Show notes

What is the only thing worse than not getting what you want? Getting what you want. Because after you get what you want, you will probably realize it wasn’t the hoped-for solution to all of your problems. And then what? In Episode 6 of The Loveable Podcast, we talk about our search for a solution […]

Week 4: Self-Acceptance Is the Foundation of All Self-Improvement [Loveable 005] Oct 31, 2017

Show notes

What if all our efforts to improve ourselves are actually keeping us stuck, because, sometimes, self-help is just cleverly disguised self-rejection?

Welcome to Episode 5 of The Loveable Podcast, in which we read and discuss Week 4 of Loveable’s companion book, […]
