    A Spiritual Hug with Nadia Bolz-Weber

    Today’s IGTBO episode is a spiritual hug – as previous guest and friend of the pod Kelly Corrigon called it – with guest Nadia Bolz-Weber, a beautiful writer, a fellow griever, and a pastor. Don't be frightened away from this episode if you are not a religious person – there won’t be any lecturing here. Nadia is not that kind of religious person. She’s the kind of religious person that, at the very least, inspires you to find the beauty in the world around you. And that’s what today’s episode is – a balm for your soul and a confirmation that a small, simple life is more than enough. You can find Nadia’s work on Substack ⁠here⁠.

    It's (still) Okay To Laugh (and crying is still cool, too)

    It has been 10 years since Nora’s first book, “It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)” was published. A lot has changed since – she got remarried, had another child, and started this podcast to carve a space in the world for conversations that really matter. In honor of IOTL’s 10th birthday, today Nora is reading the two chapters out loud and live annotating – connecting with the person she was six months after her husband’s and father’s death, miscarrying a baby, and desperately trying to stay afloat.

    Creativity is For Everyone (The Artist’s Way with Elizabeth Kott)

    Burnout seems like the biggest thing all of us have in common right now. It’s hard NOT to get burnt out when the world is rife with injustice and horror and you’re expected to carry on as normal. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to carry on as normal. But you do have to reach out and find joy – it’s going to keep you alive. It’s going to keep you going. It’s going to remind you that you won’t always feel like this. On today’s episode, Nora talks to Elizabeth Kott, who inspired her to pick up The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and “get unstuck.” Elizabeth is a founder of Club Artist’s Way, where she leads people through a 13-week program to rekindle their creative spark, and host of the Too Niche podcast, where Nora first heard about The Artist’s Way. If you’re burnt out, stuck, and desperately searching for a way to claw your way out of the dark, this episode is for you. Read my original Substack about my experience with The Artist’s Way here. Follow Club Artist’s Way on Instagram and Substack Join Elizabeth’s next Artist’s Way Group here (code NORA50 gets you $50 off!). Listen to the Too Niche podcast here.
