5: How To Find Meaning In Suffering

Life often includes suffering, whether that's grieving a loved one or navigating the tender places in our being where others have left thorns behind with their words or actions. When we stop viewing ourselves as victims of life, we can begin to use suffering as way to heal, grow, and evolve. Even grief often has messages about not wasting time being paralyzed by fear or because we think we should play small to keep others happy. In this episode, we contemplate the meaning we can find through suffering and all of life's conflicts.
