[ENCORE EPISODE] Anne Lamott: Radical Self-Care Changes Everything

You're listening to Insights at the Edge. Today is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy. Today my guest is Annie Lamont. Annie is the acclaimed author

of more than a dozen books of fiction, nonfiction, and collected essays, known for her honest, insightful, and humorous approach to subjects such as faith, loss and the creative process. She's the author of Health, Thanks, Wow, Stitches, Bird by Bird, and Hallelujah Anyway, Rediscovering Mercy, where she argues that kindness towards others Beginning with myself, buys us a shot at a warm and generous heart, the greatest prize of all. This is a special episode of Insights at the Edge, in which we are broadcasting Annie Lamont's session that was originally part of Sounds True's self-acceptance summit. In this episode, Annie and I spoke about what

what she refers to as radical self care and how it is the foundation of all true health and healing. We also talked about her own challenges with self esteem and issues related to body image and what it's taken for her to develop a sense of true belonging in which she's able to welcome all of herself and others, and receive such welcoming in return. We also talked about how women are trained to put other people first and how self-acceptance is actually a feminist issue and a prerequisite for truly being there for others. Here's my conversation with Annie Lamont.
