86. Jen Hatmaker: What We Win When We Lose It All

1. Jen describes the shock of losing her 26-year marriage overnight.

2. How, looking back, Jen sees that she knew something was wrong in her relationship well before she “knew” something was wrong–and the moment she reached out to Glennon to share it for the first time.

3. Why Jen’s friends told her she was a “human spotlight” and “cleanup crew” in her marriage–and the pain of realizing she was powerful in every role other than wife.

4. How Jen convinced herself that her marriage was enough when in reality she felt like a pot of water slowly building to a boil.

5. The common hell of being lonely inside of marriage–and why we won’t be fully honest with ourselves, our partners, or our friends about what we are most afraid of.
