A Letter to the Woman Examining Her Day // Tsh Oxenreider

 

Have you ever had the experience that life is flying by you at lightning speed and you’re just an observer? The year is already over halfway done, you’re not sure really what you’ve even done for the past six months. You’re just along for the ride.

But what if there was a daily practice that helped you grow in your ability to focus, to be grateful, and to be present?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Tsh Oxenreider. I love Tsh—her writing is absolutely fantastic, her podcast is one of the few that I listen to on long drives or as I work through mountains of laundry. And she’s just written a brand new book called First Light and Eventide, which is a daily gratitude journal. When you open up the cover, she guides you through a short, twice-daily thought exercise to help you better focus on gratitude, grace, and greater truth. 

If you’re looking for a thoughtful way to bookend your day and you wish someone would just take you by the hand and help you navigate some of life’s uncertainty, this letter is for you.

Topics we talked about in this episode:

  • Tsh’s story as a Catholic convert

  • The story behind her new book, First Light and Eventide: A Daily Gratitude Journal

  • Tsh’s advice for building the habit of morning and evening bookends

  • How Tsh has encountered truth, goodness, and beauty on pilgrimage (and how you can join her on upcoming trips!)

  • How stepping away from Instagram has impacted Tsh’s ability to notice, focus, and be grateful

  • Why Tsh curates playlists to pair with all of her books

  • How Tsh lives out the feminine genius in her daily life
