On today’s episode of Honest to God, I’m joined by the one and only Allie McFadden, a dear mentor and friend (and mom and wife and actress and photographer and vocalist and former gymnast). Always a pillar of wisdom and inspiration, Allie comes to pour out heartfelt wisdom and sobering truths about our favorite domestic fantasies—marriage and motherhood—while reflecting on everything she wishes she knew at the start of her twenties about love, career, confidence, and more. We talk about serving false gods, feeling like a sellout, managing the pain of heartbreak, and being overwhelmed by desire. In considering how Christlike femininity functions amidst all of this, we discuss the separation of our capacity to be desired from our outward beauty and sexuality, in addition to the rhythms that keep us afloat in suffocating seasons. Allie shares about the unexpected joys and struggles of starting a family, as she teaches us how to enjoy the beauty of the time in between.
