PODCAST: Trusting Your Gut with Catherine
This Love Rice episode is about decisions and self-care.

Love Rice Podcast: Leap, Risk, and the Unknown with Rob Bell
I’ve had a thousand conversations with myself about what I could or couldn’t do in my life. When considering a big change, I’ve mapped it out, planned it out, and then ripped it up and tossed it through the window because there was too much pain and too many unknowns. It’s easy to get knotted up in the hows, whats, and whys instead of taking the kind of leaps that change everything in our lives. It can be paralyzing. You are not alone, I feel it too. If you’ve had any experience teetering on this edge, our Love Rice episode with New York Times Best Selling author, spiritual teacher, author, fellow podcaster for the RobCast and white t-shirt and jeans wearing family man Rob Bell will speak to you.

For high school graduation, I gifted myself an atlas and a red sleeping bag. It was a gift with the promise of shelter, curiosity, and access to the earth underneath me.

But, I soon found the smooth road roads of my map didn’t quite match the potholes under my feet. I quickly learned about the imperfect messiness of life.
