Hi Soul Minimalist!

I tend to send these posts in the morning but I’ve been on airplanes again this week so the typical schedule is wonky. Last week I was in Indiana and Kansas. This week I’m in Tennessee (hope to see you at Barnes and Noble in Chattanooga Thursday at 5 p.m. if you’re local!)

Today I’m taking a pause from our typical kinds of posts and answering some questions you’ve asked. We have something for authors, young parents, and spiritual directors. We have something for you if you lack a predictable schedule, struggle with feelings of envy, or are navigating the grief of leaving a place you’ve loved.

Today I’m answering the following questions:

  • Questions to ask yourself when discerning what has a hold on you

  • Advice for a first time author trying to publish a book without a big following

  • How I found time to myself when I had toddlers

  • What (if anything) changed now that How to Walk into a Room hit the New York Times

  • How to navigate feelings of envy

  • What I’m learning as I offer spiritual direction

  • Kind resources for parenting LGBTQ kids

  • How I’m (really) doing
