ELIZABETH OLDFIELD: Becoming Steady, Connected, and Fully Alive

What if the key to thriving isn’t managing your circumstances perfectly—but rooting yourself in the connections that matter most? In this heartfelt conversation, Michael and Megan talk with Elizabeth Oldfield, author of Fully Alive, about reclaiming depth, community, and soul-level steadiness in a culture addicted to speed and distraction. Elizabeth draws on ancient wisdom, modern insight, and her own experience living in intentional community to offer a hopeful path forward.

Memorable Quotes

“You need to put your roots down deep into love and work out how to find some steadiness.”
“When we are honest about our full humanity, we give other people permission to do that, and that's a necessary starting point for actually growing up our souls rather than pretending that we all know what we’re doing and we’re holding it all together.”
“Where we put our attention is essentially who we become.”
“I have this sense that fully aliveness is in connection, deep connection, horizontally and vertically.”
“Hurrying and destruction are not how we flourish, and we’re constantly being encouraged to do those things. So we need to provide some counter pressure towards slowness and steadiness and presence.”

Key Takeaways

Connection Is the Core of Flourishing. Relationships—messy, costly, inconvenient—are where we become more fully human.
Attention Shapes Who You Become. Distraction isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a soul-shaping force. Guard your focus.
Structure Time Around Your Values. A “rule of life” puts what matters most in place first, so the rest fits around it.
Commitment Fuels Depth. Vulnerability without commitment fizzles; together they form lasting community.
Ancient Practices Still Work. Sabbath, liturgy, and shared rhythms anchor us in what endures.
