Our girlfriend, Marie Griffith joins us this week to talk about her backpacking adventures and how nature can be a healing escape for us. I think even the most "indoorsy" person will be inspired!

To read more about Marie's adventures, check out her blog at: https://www.livelikeitmatters.net/

Then, we talk to our special guest, Dr. Merry Lin about her new book, Rebecoming: Come Out Of Hiding to Live as Your God-Given Essential Self.

Some of the things we talked with Dr. Lin about are:

1. How we process all our decision through our emotions.
2. Why it’s important to name our emotions correctly.
3. What is our “essential self”? and how do we get in touch with it?
4. What is the Enneagram and how can it help?
5. What causes our essential self to go into hiding?
6. Why do we sometimes stay in unhealthy relationships or situations?
7. How does getting to know ourselves go hand in hand with getting to know God?

We loved our conversation with Dr. Lin and we know you will too!
