3. Glennon asks Brené the question she’s been dying to ask about how a woman’s work is defined and received in the world compared to her male counterparts.

4. How understanding that grief and loss are an inevitable part of change helps us navigate toward the decisions that serve us.

5. Brené answers questions from the Pod Squad and our rapid fire session on: tough emotions, tattoos, and her favorite place on Earth.
