Podcast: RESTING – Feature Conversation: April Fiet
On this episode of the podcast, I am joined by guest co-host Erin Olson, and together we talk with April Fiet about her new book, The Sacred Pulse: Holy Rhythms for Overwhelmed Souls (Broadleaf Books). Among the topics we discuss:
– How those of us who are adept at “managing our time” may actually just be better at “hiding our weariness”
– How we can find holy rhythms in the midst of a culture and time where we are able and encouraged to “work anywhere and everywhere and at any time”
– How we can add practices in a way that is life-giving and sustainable instead of “one more thing” on the to do list
– On the way that felt futility of living intentionally, the difficulty of friendship as an adult, and ways to normalize grief and messiness
– One thing to know, and one thing to do if we want to change
