About this Episode
This summer, I'm re-airing some of my favorite decision making episodes. This one originally aired on October 26, 2021.
Today I'm joined by a writer who deeply understands what it means to live life on autopilot, chugging through the day "on fear and caffeine." As it turns out, that life is a train to nowhere and Shauna Niequist decided to get off. I'm happy to sit down with her to talk about writing, connection, and her next right thing. Listen in.
