35: Glennon Doyle and making disappointing others your job

This Feels Important

Kari and Tory have a dare for you this week. In what is quickly becoming their favorite type of episode, they drop a Glennon Doyle quote this week. And it gets Kari right in the heart.

“Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint that someone else. Your job throughout your entire life is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.”

In this episode, Kari shares how this quote challenges her as a people and partner pleaser, Tory shares how it inspired her to get an apple at an inopportune time, and why it’s none of your business how people react to your requests. Kari and Tory also offer insights on how to know when you should stand up for yourself. And it’s probably more than you think.

ABOUT THIS FEELS IMPORTANT

This Feels Important is an exploration into the hairy, scary, weird, and sometimes orgasmic journey of navigating our ever-evolving relationships to self, others, and the world around us.

Your hosts, Kari Keating and Tory Dube - along with a lineup of epic guests - open the floor for honest discussions about the taboo feels (sex! money!), the painful feels (miscarriages! divorce! grief!), and the fun feels (psychedelics! sex again!) that are inevitable, necessary and freaking important as we all navigate the highs, lows and in-betweens of the human experience.
