I was going to write this post on the subject of “declarations and how we can overlook the difference between what actually exists and what we declare to exist but are only declarations.

Think of all the adjectives people append to “marriage,” happy, unhappy, gay, and so on.

The podcast was really about how we define or declare our identity and how that can either limit us or become the tool to expanding our lives. Her story is so powerful I can do no better than link you to it:
