Ep. 43: Finding Freedom within Limits with Ashley Hales
LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE
ABOUT THE EPISODE
In episode 43, Ashley Hales joins Sarah to talk about the seemingly upside-down freedom she’s found within the goodness of God’s limits. Ashley is the author of A Spacious Life: Trading Hustle and Hurry for the Goodness of Limits (coming Sept. 14, 2021) and invites us to reframe how we think of limits—as an invitation instead of a restriction. Ashley shares some of her own story of questioning cultural values of hustle and of independence and how some basic boundaries can help us embrace a fuller, more connected life.
