I’ve been thinking a lot about how the negative things we experience can come to shape the way we see ourselves, other people, and the path before us. When I get scared, I have a tendency to try to distract myself or using coping habits that aren’t so great … like … donuts, for example.
My guest is Dr. Donna Marks. She says that we can find the voice of love … even when we’re in pain or fear … and that there is a path to a healing moment that lets us use pain as a doorway to happiness, meaning and purpose.
