Your Inner Child: Is Yours a Voyager, a Defensive Driver, or a Scuba Diver?
Who is your Inner Child, and what are they (still) saying?
It’s amazing how strongly our little selves show up in our adult lives.
Buckle Up – in this hilarious, profound conversation, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda invite their inner children to come forward and share their delights, blessings, and curses with the Pod Squad.
Together, we spiral around:
- Why some of us become the family “feeler” and others the “fixer,” and how we can all become more whole;
- How to honor the part of you who planned, dreamed, or disassociated to survive, without letting that little kid run your whole adult life; and
- How Abby is using music, dancing, and play as an antidote to her anxiety.

Women’s Voices So Dangerous They Buried Them: Meggan Watterson
Did you know that gospels of women leaders were in the Bible — and then in the Fourth Century, they were literally torn out of all Bibles and destroyed??? Except a few of them were buried and discovered a thousand years later.
This conversation is about those stories … and why they are so powerful – and so dangerous to power – that they were almost erased forever.
If you’ve ever felt like something is missing from the stories you were given about God, the Bible, or your own worth—you’re right.
The stories of women’s lives, hearts, and desires have been stolen from us. Now, the brilliant feminist theologian Meggan Watterson is here to help us reclaim them – and it changes everything we know about connecting to ourselves, to faith, and to our own power.
Join us now.
About Meggan:
Meggan Watterson is a Harvard-trained feminist theologian and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed. Meggan’s most recent book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself, is about the first century saint Thecla, and how the scripture that contains her story reads like a manual for defying the patriarchy, and following the voice of our own soul.

Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go
Pod Squad: It’s just us this episode. Glennon, Abby, and Amanda are snuggling up on the metaphorical couch to answer your questions and spiral together about:
– Is writing about yourself self-indulgent?
– Is camping a vacation or a trip? (and why lesbians can’t seem to figure that out); and
– How Amanda is finally setting down the plates she’s been spinning for decades.
Snuggle up—you won’t want to miss this one.
