I have had so many of these feelings and tried to work through these thoughts. My a-ha moment was when you wrote "You might mistake the fierceness of this intention for reckless abandon but I assure you, they are not the same thing." Because I keep thinking what I crave is reckless abandon. I hope you will continue writing on that thread. Thank you Leandra.

Guilt is a map that helps me get home again

Did not see that coming.

Profound

So true..

I also ha(d) the belief that guilt was something to get “”rid of” /served no purpose.. but whoa Nelly it’s my fucking map now .. I love that 🕺

Really enjoyed the recording. More please of those.

I was a devotee of your podcasts in ~ ?2015ish? & fun to hear your voice again xo

Thanks & love Leandra

All I can say is....I really needed this tonight. As a political consultant the end of this Congress has crushed up against the beginning of the holidays. So I spent the day doing zoom meetings, running errands, returning phone calls on the way back from a nail appt and wondering if I would have five seconds to myself in the next little while. Of course, I have almost total control over all of this.....well, not the Congressional part.....but you made me feel so much better. I esp loved the moment w/ the hubs, feet on feet. Sending love and gratitude!
