Things “Gone Good” Episode | An even deeper dive into the secret of loving your life

To kick off Season 6, Jessica and Layne revisit the transformative power of loving your life, even amidst the challenges of raising young children, recovering from cervical cancer and figuring out how to pay bills. Jess introduced us to the mantra "I love my life" in the final episode of last season and while you don't need to hear it to enjoy this episode, it is a conversation that genuinely changed us both and we recommend listening when you can (find the link below)! Today we build on that with a discussion about how to find strength and "love your life" even on your worst days. We share stories about times in our lives when things "went good" instead of going bad. We offer encouragement about how to trust that the dark times are part of a story that's worth loving and that good things will continue to come in your life.

I love this episode. I needed this perspective shift.

[@jess_hover]

Happy it helped!

[@katelinabercrombie491]

It also resonates with a conversation I had with my therapist where she pointed out that our brains (my brain? Lol) don't like to focus on what we know and do well, they like to focus on what could go wrong, what we don't know, what's scary. ❤

I appreciated the thoughts, thanks girls. I would have loved if you had leaned into the “love my life” idea from Jessica a little more, I think it got a little distracted during middle of the cast.
-really liked the idea that even as you are growing and working towards dreams leaning into the truth that this is the life I have right in this moment and it is good. It is good to be in my life even with its current sorrows. In the joys and in the sorrows to be present and say I love this life that I have and am grateful.

Thank you! Did you listen to the original love my life episode from last season? ♥

Also Jess, I really liked that story you shared about talking with your children and subsequently yourself about “who told you cuz…? It was really poignant because it reminded me of Genesis where God asks Adam and Eve, “who told you that you were naked?”
