    Ep 39 Untamed with Jennifer Marsh

    Join Jennifer and me as we discuss Untamed by Glennon Doyle. Jennifer shares how this book is one giant permission wand for her to live life on her terms and as her true self. We talk about the power of rest, and how giving ourselves permission to love ourselves as ourselves is a mighty act. We dive into what it feels like to know something deeply, how it feels in the body and how new worlds & possibilities open up when we listen to that deep knowing. We also share embarrassing stories and giggle about science words that are waaaaaay too close to naughty words. 😉 Join us! 👉 Download my Creativity Book List here  Meg's Contact Info: Instagram @megrunyanstudios Check out my coaching offers here Jennifer’s Contact Info: Jennifer’s Book Club: Books and Breakthroughs www.bookclubforwomen.com Instagram @jennifermarsh_lmt Facebook: Jennifer Marsh Support Books That Shape Us Subscribe & ReviewTell your friends about Books That Shape Us!Donate money to cover production costs at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/megrunyanstudioMusic: Kauwela by Scandinavianz is licensed under a Creative Commons License Support the show
