Ever catch yourself thinking, *“Why is this happening to me?”* It’s a common question—especially when life feels heavy. But what if shifting just one word could shift everything?
Ask instead: “Why is this happening for me?”
That change in language moves us from victimhood into ownership. From feeling powerless to becoming deeply empowered. It’s not about loving the hard stuff—it’s about learning from it. Adopting a growth mindset allows us to look for the lesson, the insight, and the strength within even the most painful moments.
When it feels like everything is falling apart, remember: it might actually be falling into place. You’re not being broken—you’re being rebuilt.
Today's guest, Lauren Fields, is living proof. After suffering a traumatic brain injury as a teenager, she transformed her reality by transforming her mindset. Her journey from surviving to *thriving* is one you won’t want to miss.
