When life is lifing—when everything feels like it’s coming at you at once, knocking you down, and testing every ounce of your strength—it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted. But here’s the truth: while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve navigated one of the hardest weeks of my life while still finding flow, resilience, and a way forward. We’ll talk about:
🔥 Why suffering often comes from our resistance to what is
🔥 The power of pendulation—how to move through emotions instead of getting stuck in them
🔥 Practical ways to support your nervous system when you feel like you're drowning
🔥 How to borrow energy, beliefs, and perspectives to shift your state
🔥 The difference between numbing out and truly resourcing yourself
If you’re in a season where everything feels heavy, I see you. You are not alone. Let’s talk about how to not just survive these moments but actually thrive through them.
