Note: Episode 72, Turning Struggles into Stepping Stones, was originally scheduled for April 1. It has now been rescheduled to air on April 15, 2025.
In Ep. 72, I share how struggles can actually become stepping stones for happiness. It’s all about shifting your mindset and seeing challenges as opportunities for personal growth. I discuss how embracing obstacles with the right attitude can lead to a stronger, more fulfilled life.
I also share my poem How to Feel the Sun from Kaleidoscope of the Heart: A Poetry and Lyrics Collection—a piece that encourages us to find strength within, even in the darkest times. This poem, like many in the book, is a reminder that we have the power to transform adversity into a source of light.
If you’re facing a challenge, this episode will remind you that your struggles have the power to push you toward a greater version of yourself. You’ve got the potential to turn every obstacle into a stepping stone for growth and happiness.
Reflective Questions for You:
- What challenges are you reframing as an opportunity for growth right now?
- How do you shift your mindset when life feels overwhelming?
- What small shift can you make today to look at your struggles in a new light and move forward?
