Beginning Again with Leeana Tankersley Leeana Tankersley

In this episode, Elaine and Leeana recap their week and then deep dive into the idea of abandoning ourselves. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Why do we do it? And how the heck can we stop? Elaine shares wisdom from work with clients, and Leeana shares her own journey of learning to identify when she's overriding herself.

In this episode, Elaine and Leeana discuss the kinds of things that save us when we are down and out, especially the mundane, the unexpected, and the incessant. Enneagram stances are thrown in for some fun, as Leeana talks about her enneagram 4 doing repression (aka "no bones") and Elaine talks about her enneagram 2 thinking repression.

Leeana and lifelong friend, Tina Rose answer Elaine’s questions about how their relationship has thrived over decades and how those learnings informed the way Leeana structured their women’s group.

When hard things happen, it's tempting to focus on a why for the experience. Leeana and Elaine talk about this dilemma, and explore some theological thoughts that may impact our relationship with hope when hard things happen.

Leeana and Elaine are back in business! In this episode they talk about all the things that have helped them hold on to hope in the midst of hard days, featuring a few main ideas from Leeana's forthcoming book, Hope Anyway.
