You Called, We Listened: Your Stories, In Your Words: Messages from For the Love Listeners
“I do sometimes want to reach for rage. I want to burn shit down. I want to kick walls over. I want to scream and pull my hair out. I want to shake people senseless. And I’m not sure that that’s the most powerful response.” – Jen Hatmaker
Episode 60
It’s time again for one of our favorite features on the show – Listener Voicemail Day, where we get to hear straight from you—your voices, your stories, your wisdom. Today, we’re playing a few of our favorite messages and responding to what you, our listeners, have shared with us after our most recent episodes. Whether it’s midlife realizations, hard-won wisdom, or letting go of stuff that just isn’t serving you anymore—this is about all of us learning from each other. This episode is a reminder that we’re not in this alone—your voice matters, your story counts, and we all grow stronger when we listen to one another.
If you have a thought, story or question you’d like to share with us on the show, leave us a message over at jenhatmaker.com/podcast and we might play your message in an upcoming episode. Huge thanks to Alice, Ann, Sarah, Ashley, #1 Becky and “Badass Becky” for their candor and vulnerability in contributing to this week’s episode.
Also, Sydney Hatmaker said some hurtful things about us broadcasting our bare old lady feet on YouTube and we had to take a minute to process our feelings… and discuss a new dress code policy.
