Sometimes, we don’t know how to say who we are until someone gives us the language. This is a podcast about transformation, healing, friendship, conversation, creativity, and whatever the act of listening to my life prompts me to say. This podcast is a story about the stories in my life. You’ll hear from them what is already inside of you.

    How to Be a Grownup with Rob Bell

    If you'd told me a year ago that Rob Bell would be my first guest on this silly little podcast, I never would have believed you. But here we are! Welcome. In this episode, Rob and I talk about his new book, Where'd You Park Your Spaceship, which is delightful by the way. We also talk about hope, the Atlantic Ocean, and of course...how to be a grow up. If you have a question, topic to explore, or thought you'd like to contribute to this podcast, send me a dm on Instagram @madelinellong

    What I Wish They Knew About Us

    Here is a quote I read in an email that goes very nicely with this episode —
“If we stay the course and go through this [dark night], we find our way deeper, deeper, deeper, and then we can see that at any given moment in these ways, through marital love, through parenting, through solitude, through oneness with the world, through silence, through service to community, through art, in any given moment, there can come flashing forth our unexpected proximity to this mystical dimension of union.”

    Xanthophyll and Wallmart

    This is a story about death and birth - not as opposites, but natural actions to perpetuate life and growth.  Loss is a cleansing, a stripping. Losing helps you find what you are looking for. What are you losing? What are you finding? And who is beside you? When things fall away, it feels like nakedness - a tree without the leaves. But there is new life coming to fill the space. Let's talk about how we respond to what is falling away.
