253. Confronting Shadows: A Comedy of Errors and Healing

Out of the Ordinary

Lisa-Jo has a personal epiphany in the bathtub this week and Christie offers insights on the healing that comes from addressing our shadows.

• We're facing our demons this week -- from the safety of the bathtub!
• Lisa-Jo looks in the mirror of her past and doesn't like what she sees
• Christie points us to the cyclical nature of life that can bring order and understanding out of the darkness--especially as it relates to parenting teens.
• Lisa-Jo tells the story of confronting one of the worst shadows from her past on a stage in front of 4,000 people.
• We want to uncover the transformative power of confronting our past and finding meaning in the pain.
• Christie recommends: Like Dew Your Youth: Growing Up with Your Teenager by Eugene H. Peterson
• Lisa-Jo's bathtub read: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
