I’m honored to have someone who I care deeply about on the podcast today, Matt Maxwell. He is dedicated to freedom, joy, connection, and stewardship of the earth. Beyond that, Matt is also the author of How to Hold a Cockroach and leads Hearthstone Coaching, where he helps individuals, teams, and organizations clarify and create what matters most to them. At the time of recording, Matt joined me from his car as he’s traveling across the country to move back home to have more support from his family as he navigates the effects of long COVID. Throughout our conversation, we touch on holding grief, giving ourselves the permission to receive, and how Matt is gracefully and intentionally coming to terms with his new reality. If you’ve listened to my past solo episode on receiving and the recent episode with Jenn Andreou on embracing grief, Matt’s episode will feel like a big picture moment on how the two are interconnected and aligned. If you’re in a period of transition, especially if it’s one that’s hard to grapple with, I hope you find some relief in this episode.
