Check out these podcasts we’ve discovered in 2021 and why PLC is so jazzed to share them with you
01. We Can Do Hard Thing with Glennon Doyle-Melton
Listen to We Can Do Hard Things
Who is Glennon Doyle-Melton and why PLC is in love with We Can Do Hard Things?
Glennon, her sister Amanda and other featured guests discuss HARD life things in ways that are accessible, educational and oftentimes hilarious. Glennon is an author and an inspirational woman who is curious about how life works. She is expertly skilled at asking all the right questions to get us thinking about and considering our life patterns and structures. Even as a licensed professional therapist, who is employed as a full-time talker and listener; I find myself sometimes struggling to find the right words to elicit the stages of changes with my clients. Glennon offers us the words and questions to help guide us in our journeys.
Glennon describes her podcast here:
“We are all doing hard things every single day – things like loving and losing caring for children and parents; forging and ending friendships; battling addiction, illness, and loneliness; struggling in our jobs, our marriages, and our divorces; setting boundaries; and fighting for equality, purpose, freedom, joy, and peace. On We Can Do Hard Things, my sister Amanda and I will do the only thing I’ve found that has ever made life easier: We will drop the fake and talk honestly about the hard. Each week we will bring our hard to you and we will ask you to bring your hard to us and we will do what we were all meant to do down here: Help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, more free and less alone”
I speak for myself and for my therapy dog, Ollie (I have no authority to speak for anyone else) WE SAY YES TO THIS PODCAST AND YES TO THESE TOPICS AND YES TO HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS!!! Excuse me while I tame the 15 year old, screaming cheerleader Paula that’s taking over right now . Okay…I’m back and just glad to be introducing you to some amazing women. I am hopeful that they may inspire you as much as they inspire me.
02. How to Be a Better Human with with Chris Duffy
List to How to Be a Better Human
Hey, do you remember the “internet breaking” TED talk youtube videos? Videos where experts in anything present their work, ideas and concepts to us on a stage in about 12-20 minutes offered up on Youtube for general people consumption. TED talks talks focused on: TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, DESIGN.
Maybe they didn’t quite “break the internet” like the popular Fortnite dances learn how to dance like the cool kids these days or The Dress quandary that had millions arguing about color perception…Is it white and gold or black and blue? But for the average non-tech and novice internet cruiser interested in learning….you probably know about or have likely heard about these TED talk internet things. If not, that’s just fine. You’re learning about them right now. Hooray for you!
How To Be a Better Human podcast gives the listener specific examples and guiding insights on exactly that…best ways to be better at humaning! This podcast is engaging and clever and even gives Little Charlie a run for his money in entertainment.
Watch poor little Charlie learn a little about life.
“From your work to your home and your head to your heart, How To Be a Better Human looks in unexpected places for new ways to improve and show up for one another.” Have a great listen.
