Finding the Courage to Engage Rather than Flee with Elizabeth Laing Thompson
08/09/21 • 17 min
When you're hurt, do you tend to retreat, withdraw or withhold? Elizabeth Laing Thompson, author of All the Feels: Discover Why Emotions Are (Mostly) Awesome and How to Untangle Them When They’re Not, unpacks for us why this happens and what we can do to avoid putting up these walls in our hearts. Listen in and learn with us!
Elizabeth Laing Thompson is wife to the world’s most patient husband, Kevin—she calls him Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome, which might be why he’s so patient with her. Mom to the Crazies, her four sweetly wacky kids—kids they never thought they’d be able to conceive: Cassidy (9), Blake (7), Avery (6), and Sawyer (2). Elizabeth writes fiction for tweens and teens, and Christian inspiration books for women. When she’s not inhaling Starbucks mochas and plotting her next book, she works from home as a part-time editor and women’s minister, and as a full-time diaper changer, baby snuggler, laundry slayer, floor mopper, not-so-gourmet chef, homework helper, kid chauffeur, and tantrum tamer. She is living proof that geeky girls can live happily ever after. Find her here, at lizzylife.com!
