Thank you. I'm 66. Never feared aging and have "suddenly" plowed into a ditch of ageism, sadness, loss and overwhelm as I walk my mother to her death. I feel the weight, fear and my unknown future and disappearing in this culture.

Shower isn’t interesting enough , it’s boring as per my teen … n trust me she has everything that one can use in a shower or even a bath

I can’t say take a shower cos u smell … coz then I am mean

What if all I hear is “ I don’t know “ when I ask , “ what will make you feel better ? “ it’s mostly a dead end with my teen as she says I dunno to everything

this really helped out for my cooking

Johnathan, your gut honesty has touched me. Thank you. I was ripped open not as public as you but as significant to my life. Growth happens as we face adversity. I find myself amazed at how strongly I’ve stood through these storms. Sexuality and faith are difficult to find solutions with.

So grateful for this interview. I got curious about the centering practice, so i googled: "Prentis Hemphill centering practice" and the first thing that came up was a video (IG) where Prentis explains in detail how to do this practice, and they walk you through it 💗it was incredibly helpful to me

Wow. Thank you for this. Jen & Prentis. I appreciated the invite to get this book…I paused the podcast & downloaded your book Prentis. Especially because you read your book. It makes such a huge difference to hear your voice reading “your voice.” 🙏🏼

Annie starts around 11 minutes in....

Thank you so much❤ I’ve been writing a book for years. 😂 recently I’ve percolated too long. So glad I found you and heard this! Interview. Love love love Annie. And now love you as your heart is so tender and beautiful. Huge hugs

My English is very weak

Hello mam jen hatmaker can I chat you on video call because I want to improve my speaking skill

Great interview. Thank you Jenn for all your amazing work, and for interviewing such enlightening guests

This is freaking hilarious! I recently did the same demonstration for a new employee!!! It was her first job! 🙏🏻 talk about a need to go back to basics!

Where can I get a transcript of this talk?

Thank you for this amazing gift. I’m not one that listens to podcasts. I believe divine intervention brought you & Anne to me. This message was needed today. So blessed. ❤

fascinating discussion ❤

I don’t know if you’ll see this because I’m watching one month after this posted, but I wanted to let you know this discussion was very important to me. I had a similar experience growing up with an authoritarian father who was seduced by a fundamentalist religious group and my family of origin hit the skids from there. I’m quite a bit older and while I escaped decades ago, I’ve just recently learned some framework and language with which to begin to process my past life. Lingering trauma still affects me greatly and this was very helpful. I just ordered Rift. Thanks so much!

What a beautiful interview. Anne Lamott's book, Small Victories, was a huge help to me after my mother passed away. I've been a fan of hers ever since. What a blessing to be able to interview someone you love and admire and have them be everything you expected and more. Love this!

Yayayay one of my favorite authors🐸💕

Wow!!! This was beautiful, thank you. ❤️

I like your style of interviewing, you ask questions so many interviewers dont. Like how did Brit on a personal level change, instead just mouthing off the theory. It's so relatable, so few therapists using neuro science and recovery together.. Thank you 😊

Great interview reminds of what Jesus warned about a little leaven how it effects the bread lol🙏✝️🕊🔥🫂🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈😍😍😍

She's so brave. Thank you for having her on the podcast. She gives me hope that there are still people out there that are willing to stand up for what's right.

The first year I worked in a middle school everyone came by and introduced themselves, welcomed me, sang the praises of the school, and more than one person said “but wait til May!” I thought to myself, “May, what is all this about May?” I shrugged it off and thought it can’t be that bad. Then. . .May came and no further explanation was as needed. Not one single word was needed, I got it! Also in May SO many teachers talked about drinking and I thought to myself “oh my gosh, these are the people teaching my children???!!!” I participated in EVERY Happy Hour possible! SO MANY BEERS IN MAY! SO MANY! Here’s to May! 😭

And don’t you have a huge splint on your post-surgery hand?????

Loved your video about good fruit on the Reformation Project and your sense of humor too!!🙏✝️🕊🔥🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🫂😍😍😍😍

Jen - you should definitely interview Meghan Watterson who wrote the incredibly powerful and beautiful book Mary Magdalene Revealed. Mary has a lot to tell us, no wonder they literally buried her voice!

“An unaffiliated spiritual person” 😂 I’m using that!

These podcasts are so refreshing and therapeutic

I think I just witnessed two people become friends before my eyes. I hope so!

This was a lovely interview, Jen. I am familiar with James Clear's work. I think what makes his book 'Atomic Habits' so enduring is that it taps into a common thread that belongs to all humans and even animal species. What he has done is to reinforce and to take a deeper look at the true nature of habits. It comes from, as he says, partly from his practical experience, the situations in his life and deep research. It is easily one of my all-time favourite books. I can see why it resonates with millions around the world because he has reminded us of who we are and how we are shaped by our habits. So simple and yet so profound. His success is absolutely well deserved. Kudos to you too Jen for rising above your challenges and difficult situations. You have really done well for yourself and will continue to do so. Keep up the spirit! Lots of love and greetings from India. ❤

love Bozoma and her energy thank you for this episode

That is a good friend to tell you those things! You need to value her and thank her for being honest with you!

Jen, Happy Mother’s Day to you!❤ I feel like I’ve been wrapped up in a warm, loving hug after watching your video. Thank you! ❤❤❤

I’m here to support you girl. Keep going

Thanks for this message 💞💞💞💞

You are the best

Oooof she’s something special.

What a great show. FYI… I noticed a typo at 16:14 bottom right “Turst & Will”.. Thanks again.

Great interview, Jen! Lots of golden nuggets in this video. James is a great speaker.

For all the women who dont want to use patronomic (dads last name ) naming systems you can always do the Scandinavian naming systems. For example your moms first name +Dottier /datter which means so and so's daughter. That way they ate never forgotten

I believe that extreme anxiety is at the root of codependency, addiction and is likely most Cluster B personality disorders too. Great conversation and have just ordered the book. ❤ and I completely agree with Melody’s perspective on us being here at this time of enormous transition for some greater purpose. What a generous soul she is with her kindness and compliments to Jen.

Listened to this for the 2nd time. Pure gold! I am a recovering Codependent! ❤

I do say to my daughter what is getting in the way that you know it is not good attention- sending naked pictures to boys in Snapchat, Instagram, etc...or vaping...She tells me she doesn't know or she is broken?//

The story about your aunt excluding you is breaking my heart and if i’m honest, really ticking me off. I had to pause to say that You seem lovely. She was awful to you.

💞

I bow before Black Women and humbly worship Them as the superior Gods they are! 😍❤️👸🏾👸🏿🫅🏾🫅🏿

This helped so much. Thank you both. Truly x
