We Can Do Hard Things

Show Notes

Sometimes the hardest thing isn't working harder—it's remembering how to be alive.

After Abby and Glennon stage a Relaxation Intervention for Amanda (which immediately goes off the rails), the conversation becomes something much deeper: why so many of us struggle to rest, why we've negotiated away our playful selves in the name of responsibility, and how over-functioning can keep us from fully living.

- Why so many of us don't know how to relax—and what that's really about

- How over-functioning and perfectionism disconnect us from ourselves

- The surprising moments that bring us back to joy, play, and connection

- Why life isn't waiting on the other side of your to-do list

- A simple "proof of life" practice to help you feel more human
