Sweater Weather by Shawn Mendes is revealing. Besides enjoying his music, I'm intrigued by Shawn Mendes' journey from recording videos like this from his Pickering, ON home, to global stardom. I hope he continues to evolve and push boundaries creatively, while we get to watch and listen. 

 

We Can Do Hard Things, the podcast by Glennon Doyle is a revelation. Glennon, (author of Untamed), her wife Abby Wambach, and sister Amanda discuss many of life's biggest challenges. The Dec. 2 episode features Brene Brown, author of the new book Atlas of the Heart, discussing holding boundaries and facing our fears, especially during the holidays.
