Ep. 112 | How to Love Someone as They Are (Not as You Wish They Were)

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm telling you about a wedding vow that stopped me in my tracks — and a question my spiritual guide has had to ask me more than once.  It starts with a marriage, but it ends at Trader Joe's.  Anne Lamott writes that love is a piece of toast and a diamond — sturdy and imperfect — and that what we stand to lose when we truly love someone is the illusion of control. Question to carry into your day: Who in your life are you struggling to love as they are — and what might that be telling you about yourself? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
