Hosted by Patty Carnevale, Erin Ozmat · society · EN
Each episode of Giving In features an intimate conversation between Patty, Erin, and someone who has gone through a profound experience with surrender. Our guests come from all walks of life, but they are the kind of curious, clever, warm and captivating people you would actually feel lucky to be sitting next to on a cross-country flight. These stories aren’t about giving up, but instead softening the ego and surrendering to the heart. Which is really really hard! Especially in today’s productivity, hustle and perfectionist culture. That’s why we’re talking about it. Read and sign up for our newsletter at givingin.substack.com <3
