Season 4, Episode 405: Carry on, Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton
Carry on, Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton Once again I grabbed a book because, based on the title, I thought “Oh, that one’s speaking directly to my soul.” The title? Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life by Glennon Doyle. I mean, come on—the word messy is right there in the title. Irresistible, right? I was expecting something inspirational, maybe in the same spirit as Doyle’s later best seller, Untamed but this wasn’t that. Not even close. And yet, somehow......
READ POSTThis Book Made Us Feel So Seen
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. Have you ever read a book that made you feel like the author had been secretly following you around and taking notes?

This is the first time we both read the same book for the same episode—and let’s just say the conversation took off. We talked about energy, boundaries, visibility, and how to build a business that aligns with who you really are. Spoiler: we don’t believe...

READ POSTYou don’t have to agree to grow.
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. You don’t have to love every book to get something from it. That was Joelene's biggest takeaway from Carry On, Warrior. Some essays landed. Some didn’t. Some made her want to throw the book across the room. And yet—she kept reading (kind of). Because there’s value in the tension. Growth in the gaps. In this episode, we’re unpacking the parts that surprised us, made us uncomfortable, and still managed to shift something inside. 💗 Listen to the episode here...

READ POSTThe permission slip we didn’t know we needed
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader.

READ POSTWhat if your mess is the message?
This week's Page Turner We did it again. Carry On, Warrior wasn’t what we expected. But in a way, that made it perfect for this podcast. Because building a business—especially as an introvert—is messy. It doesn’t follow a tidy arc. Neither does this book. We’re diving into Glennon Doyle’s early essays and unpacking the uncomfortable, the surprising, and the beautifully human moments that made us pause. This week, we’re asking: what if showing up messy is actually the most powerful move you...
READ POSTCan a book be “meh” and meaningful?
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? This month's episode had us in a bit of a tug-of-war. Carry On, Warrior was more God-heavy than expected, formatted like a blog, and a little disjointed — but we still found moments of truth that stuck.
